Panthère
A Timeless Symbol
The iconic Cartier image is the panther. It has been bonded with the free independent woman as she lives each new era from the past through to the future
Since its first appearance as a pattern on a wristwatch in 1914, the ‘panthère’ has become an emblematic motif for Cartier, representing the freedom of women in a new era. From figuration to abstraction, this ever-changing two-or-three dimensional motif, featured in a multitude of attitudes and gestures, is a true timeless Cartier symbol.
