Cartier Panthère – A Century of Iconic Elegance
For over a hundred years, the panther has prowled through Cartier’s storied legacy, becoming the maison’s most enduring and powerful emblem. More than just a motif, the panther represents elegance, strength, and mystery—forever linked to the bold women of the 20th century who redefined modern femininity.
Cartier Panthère traces the evolution of this legendary symbol, from its ancient roots as a creature of power and seduction to its status as a cornerstone of Cartier’s design language. Through insightful essays by art historian Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, jewelry historian Vivienne Becker, expert Joanna Hardy, and fashion luminary André Leon Talley, the book explores the panther’s place in art history, haute joaillerie craftsmanship, and its influence across fashion and pop culture.
Complete with a detailed chronology of a century of Cartier panther creations, this volume is a rich tribute to one of the most iconic symbols in luxury history.
