The missing link between Madonna, Margaret Thatcher and Keith Richards
Description
Cartier has always been a watchmaker of form and design. The daring (crazy?) challenge of linking a very square box with rounded edges and small elongated links could only be taken on by the House. The bet was a clear winner and was available in solid gold, gold and steel, steel, pavé, large size, small size...
This version is perhaps the most "pure" for a woman: solid gold and small size.
How to wear it?
Watches with metal bracelets are and will always remain sporty to the eye. However, when this metal is gold, and the bracelet is made of so many fine links, the jewel is not far away. Françoise wears it rather casually, like an everyday watch, and she will perhaps prefer more dressy watches, on a leather strap, for the evening. Though...
Why did Françoise choose it?
If Françoise chose it, she's not the only one! We have seen it (and we see it again) on the wrists of many actresses, musicians and politicians. If life needed a Cartier, Françoise would certainly turn to a Panther. The metal bracelet (whatever it is) offers an unrivaled guarantee of resistance and comfort.
History
The Panthère watch was launched in the festive spirit of the 1980s, when Michèle Kaouni was Creative Director at the Maison Cartier. It takes its name from the bracelet: both supple and refined, it evokes the way in which the feline moves, all in roundness, elegance and sensuality. At Cartier, the evocation of the panther through its coat is part of its identity. The spotted pattern first appeared on another ladies' wristwatch in 1914, in onyx and diamonds.
Upon its release, it was adopted by a large and eclectic crowd: Madonna, Keith Richards, Margaret Thatcher. Why not you?

Every piece undergoes a two-step expert review before joining our selection.
Françoise and her team, collectors and horology enthusiasts for many years, examine it first.
Our partner watchmakers, with whom we work closely, then carry out the technical authentication.

Our photographs are true to life: taken in-house with a macro lens, they capture every detail of a piece with precision — including marks or scratches that may be less visible to the naked eye.
We never retouch a watch's condition; only the brightness of the photograph may be adjusted.
Serial numbers are removed from photographs to protect the authenticity of each piece.

Return and refund policy
Despite photos and descriptions that we hope are as accurate as possible, we know that the relationship with a piece of jewelry, a watch, is above all physical.
That's why we offer a 14-day return period, no questions asked, with a refund within 5 days of receiving the watch.
However, the watch must be in an aesthetic and mechanical condition similar to when it was sent.
