Louis Cartier nicknamed Jeanne Toussaint “the Panther”; she was appointed director of high jewelry in 1933 and made the animal the house’s emblem, notably with the famous brooch created in 1948 for the Duchess of Windsor, a gold panther set atop a cabochon emerald weighing over 116 carats. Launched in 1983, the Panthère de Cartier watch brings this spirit to watchmaking: a square case with softened corners and an articulated bracelet whose suppleness evokes the movement of a panther. The house brought it back into the spotlight in 2017. It ranks among the great Parisian jewelry watches, alongside the Santos, the Tank, and the Pasha de Cartier, as well as the Cadenas by Van Cleef & Arpels.
