There is a Panthère de Cartier mini-model that features a smooth, silky gold bracelet that can be looped three times around the wrist, and a Panthère Manchette, whose square dial sits off-center on a wide gold bracelet. “As jewelers you focus more on what makes an object beautiful, not only on the technique.” The focus on aesthetics is clear in a collection of reimagined classics: The 2019 Tank Chinoise Red is a tribute to the signature 1921 rectangular model, with an 18K white gold case framed by lines of brilliant-cut rubies and diamonds, and sleek black enamel.Įven the house’s famously amorphous Crash watch-which, the story goes, was originally a Baignoire Allongée that melted when it was worn in a fatal car crash, thus inspiring the signature curvy style-was reimagined as the Panthère Crash with two diamond-studded panther heads wrapping around a twisting case. “We are not born watchmakers but jewelers,” Rainero says.
