Tiger and Zebra Stripes Decorate The Panthère de Cartier
The Panthère de Cartier is looking fierce with a fresh coat of abstract animal stripes and precious stones.
Is that a coat of zebra or tiger stripes, you ask? It could well be both. The Panthère de Cartier has gotten wondrously wild with all-over graphic motifs and coloured gemstones — black and golden brown lacquer meets pavé-set diamonds as well as orange and yellow spessartites. The jewellery timepiece requires utmost precision in artisanship, especially on the lacquer-related work, with the material hand-applied and fired at high temperatures. Adding to the brilliance of the new iteration of Cartier’s icon: one hundred and forty-five diamonds embellish its dial.
