Who would have guessed that Jeanne Toussaint and Louis Cartier's acquaintance, going back to the early 1900s, would be instrumental in creating the most remarkable pieces of today's jewelry and watch world?
Cartier took Toussaint's elegance and remarkable determination as inspiration for his famous jewelry line, as well as his home, elegantly decorated and adorned with leopard skin. For this reason, the name was given to Toussaint by Cartier simply sums up a legend: "La Panthère".
Toussaint's work has carried the brand to a unique point since the early 1900s. The most striking series among the innovations was undoubtedly the designs that added a new dimension to the panther figure with the combination of black enamel and gold. The wild cat pattern, which first appeared on a wristwatch in 1914, was presented to Cartier fans as the main theme of many jewelry pieces in the following years.
Today's Panthere watch collection is a perfect combination of the genius of Louis Cartier and Jeanne Toussaint. Stylish, bold, eye-catching, and timeless. Of course, these definitions are not enough to explain the message of the Panthere collection, but you can be sure that a woman wearing a Panthere model on her wrist cannot have made this choice by chance. No wonder Panthere models, created with lines depicting the nobility and ferocity of wild cats, are among the first choices of women aiming for the top in today's competitive business life.
The models are available in two sizes as small and medium. The measurements are 22mm x 30mm x 6mm (small) and 27mm x 37mm x 6mm (medium). The cases feature sapphire crystals and are water-resistant up to 30 meters. The Cartier Panthere variants are available in stainless steel, stainless steel/18K gold and, solid 18K gold (yellow and pink). There is also the diamond-set bezel version.
All Panthere models have quartz calibers. Although high watchmaking is associated with mechanical calibers, I think that offering a battery-powered movement in such a model is a factor that increases usability. Cartier Panthere models are spot-on choices for women who want to enjoy high precision without the hassle of winding the movement or wearing the same watch at regular intervals.
Each Panthere model sports a blue sapphire crown that has become one of Cartier's signature designs. The ultra-flexible bracelet, inspired by the soft and determined steps of a panther, is one of the most characteristic details of the Panthere family.
Cartier Panthere is one of the first designs that come to mind when it comes to women's watches, and it embodies many of the brand's characteristic details. It has such a cult and classic design that makes it reveal itself even from meters away.
Owning a Cartier Panthere is like having a family value, which will be preserved and passed on for generations, reinforced by both the values of the brand and the timeless design of its models.
