You don’t have to be an animal lover, or a lover of felines to adore the Cartier panthers whether it is a watch, pendant, ring, bracelet, brooch, cufflinks, handbag, wallet or even a scarf.
It was when Jeanne Toussaint first laid eyes on a live panther when on safari with Louis Cartier that the idea of the panther design was born. As she was director of Cartier Jewelry, the big cats soon evolved into the design of a watch and ultimately created one of the most legendary jewelry lines of all time. The sleek panther even made it’s way into the firms secondary logo and is found in just about all the firms marketing to date.
The first panther patterned watch was created in 1914 with the classic diamond and ebony pave setting and the panther design exploded from there.
