Cartier has long been synonymous with stunning panther motifs. Now, the brand unleashes its new 
Promenade d’une Panthere watch – and deftly does what only Cartier can do — create the panther in an ever more dramatic design.
The haute horlogerie and haute joaillerie timepiece is like a dream to behold. Housing the caliber 9603 MC self-winding movement, the 42mm mechanical beauty boasts a 204-part caliber with 31 jewels and beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Each movement is individually numbered.

The panther naturally rotates – causing a dazzling, eye-catching wild-animal appeal. If the magical allure of the prancing panther isn’t enough, the 18-karat white gold case is rhodium treated and set with 633 stunning diamonds weighing 6.8 carats.
