A feline icon reinvented: Panthère de Cartier roars with high-jewellery craftsmanship

29 October 2025

Unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2025, the latest Panthère de Cartier watch embodies the Maison’s ability to merge high jewellery artistry with refined watchmaking.

This reinterpretation abstracts the panther’s coat into a bold graphic composition that combines zebra-like striping with tiger-inspired warmth, expressed through black and golden-brown lacquer. Pavé-set diamonds illuminate the case and bracelet, while vibrant orange and yellow spessartites introduce a fierce chromatic contrast, enhancing the watch’s animalistic allure.

Crafted within Cartier’s Maison des Métiers d’Art, each lacquered surface is painstakingly applied and fired by hand to achieve flawless depth and sheen. The snow-set dial, set with 145 brilliant-cut diamonds, scatters light across its surface, reaffirming the brand’s dedication to detail.

With its sculptural textures, meticulous finishing, and expressive palette, the Panthère de Cartier transcends mere function—standing as a wearable work of art that channels the elegance, power, and enduring symbolism of Cartier’s most iconic feline.
