SimplyAbuDhabi XLVI

T he excellence and virtuosity of the Maison’s talented artisans form a singular alchemy in this stunning bangle time piece. Through their work, with the panther’s presence, materials are transformed to bring this spectacular creation to life. A harmonious hybrid blend of watchmaking and jewellery, this creation combines elements rooted in the Maison’s stylistic history. First there’s the three-dimensional panther that’s ready to pounce; then there’s the ‘Toi & Moi’ bracelet, featuring the Maison’s emblematic feline on one side and a delicate watch on the other. In yellow or white gold, this singular piece of architecture reveals a highly realistic sculptural work of art: a leaping body, slender muscles, ear and nose details, and, under the paws, painstakingly crafted pads. Radiant, like the panther, the polished yellow gold has black lacquer for the spots, while the feline with tsavorite eyes plays on the contrast from the black lacquer dial and diamond-paved bezel. Setting a diamond at 12 o’clock brings everything together, by way of an hour-marker. Cartier Panthère Jewellery Watch 202 | Simply Abu Dhabi
