At Cartier, time is the subject of multiple creative metamorphoses as exhibited by the Panthère de Cartier line and its five new watch models released in Watches and Wonders 2025.
As illustrated on its website, Cartier’s Panthère watch demands precise craftmanship from ateliers, particularly for the work on the lacquer, which is applied by hand and fired at high temperatures. In addition, the snow setting of the dial is adorned by 145 brilliant cut diamonds, making it a true jewelry tour de force.
Its five stunning new models exemplify the brand’s commitment to blending horological expertise with jewelry artistry. The new lineup includes the Panthère de Cartier 36.5mm in rose gold featuring an eye-catching zebra-inspired dial, complemented by two diamond-paved yellow gold models (in 36.5mm and 30.3mm sizes) and two diamond-paved rose gold models (in 30.3mm and 25mm sizes).
Blending Luxury and Sophistication
Cartier, a name long synonymous with sophistication and luxury, has elevated their iconic Panthère line to new heights with this dazzling gem-set collection. Each timepiece in the collection transforms from merely sophisticated to truly spectacular, with fully set bracelets and gem-encrusted bezels available in both yellow and rose gold across various sizes.
The undisputed highlight of the collection is the 36.5mm rose gold model that masterfully integrates Cartier’s signature panther motif with an exotic zebra-inspired dial. This particular timepiece stands as a testament to Cartier’s unrivaled creativity and craftsmanship in the luxury watch space.
All five models feature diamond-adorned cases and bracelets, making them statement pieces for those who appreciate horological artistry.
The larger yellow gold Panthère measures 36.5mm × 26.7mm with a sleek 6.8mm profile, showcasing a semi-paved case and bracelet set with 187 diamonds totaling 3.89 carats. The smaller yellow gold version, measuring 30.3mm × 22mm and just over 6mm in thickness, features 179 diamonds (1.56 carats). The mid-sized rose gold model maintains identical dimensions and diamond specifications.
The most petite option in the collection, the 25mm × 20mm rose gold model, features a semi-paved case and bracelet adorned with 175 diamonds (1.07 carats). However, the collection’s crown jewel remains the 36.5mm × 26.7mm rose gold model with its distinctive zebra dial. This exceptional timepiece is set with 398 diamonds (3.36 carats), complemented by spessartites and dual-shade lacquer in black and golden-brown. The rose gold dial itself features 145 brilliant-cut diamonds (0.38 carats), resulting in a timepiece that is both bold and extraordinary.
All cases are crafted from premium 750/1000 gold and provide 3 ATM water resistance. Each model operates on the same reliable quartz movement. With the exception of the zebra-dial model, the other four timepieces feature classic silver dials with blued-steel sword hands and no date display, maintaining their elegant aesthetic integrity.
The exotic zebra dial stands apart with its 145 brilliant-cut diamonds, black lacquer, and steel sword-shaped hands with a rose gold finish. The seamless alignment between dial and case creates a particularly captivating visual effect.
The Cartier Panthère collection continues to redefine luxury watchmaking, masterfully blurring the distinction between jewelry and timepieces. Whether one’s preference leans toward the fully diamond-set designs or the wild, statement-making zebra dial, these new models affirm Cartier’s unparalleled ability to create watches that command attention.
