The dial of the Japan limited edition model of the Panthère de Cartier uses black lacquer to express the motif of a paper pattern found in the personal archive of Louis Cartier, the third owner of the company, in a unique interpretation of Cartier. Limited to 150 pieces.
The history of the Panthère in Cartier dates back to 1914. Cartier’s first panthère began with a jewellery watch with diamonds and onyx to represent the pattern of the panthère. After that, the watch collection “Panthère Ducartier” was announced in 1983. It gained popularity during the opening of the glamorous 1980s, and continues to be loved as a watch that symbolizes the Maison to this day. The supple bracelet of the Panthère de Cartier evokes the graceful movements of the Maison’s iconic animal, the panther.
Panthère de Cartier Watch Small Model Case Size 23mmx30mm, Thickness: 6mm / Yellow Gold Case / High Efficiency Quartz Movement / Daily Life Water Resistance ¥3,696,000 (Pre-price, 150 pieces for Japan only, released on September 25)
The dial of the new Japan limited edition model is inspired by the beautiful patterns of traditional Japan thin paper patterns used to dye textiles and kimonos. At the beginning of the 20th century, Cartier began to incorporate the essential design of Japan’s aesthetic into his creations as an important inspiration. The paper pattern that inspired the new work is exquisitely expressed in a polished dela lacquer by a grandfather in Japan.
Now that Cartier is celebrating the 50th anniversary of opening its first boutique in Japan, why not welcome Cartier’s masterpiece watches, which stand out for their presence and elegance with each ticking hour, at milestones in life, such as work and personal life?
