The Jaguar theme is very important in Cartier’s traditional complication watch series.

In Cartier, the image and spirit of the jaguar are everywhere. Whether it’s concrete or abstract, Jaguar always adds femininity to Cartier’s works with a delicate and mysterious appearance. This year, for the first time on the Clé de Cartier case, Cartier combined the coupe relief decoration and the workshop’s self-winding movement refined by the workshop.

The sculptor uses hand-engraved fur to create a three-dimensional effect on the markings and leopard nose, showing the effect of contrasting hair. , Set with 157 round brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a subtle and delicate watch masterpiece.

Panthère Mystérieuse

Like real three-dimensional jewelry sculptures, the Jaguar is embellished with diamonds and black lacquer spots, elegantly embracing the edge of the dial. Leopard heads, claws, and emerald leopard eyes, every detail is ingenious and lifelike. In contrast to this, it is the suspended hands on the transparent dial. The watch’s 9981 MC-type movement is hidden seamlessly. This new watch is exquisite and luxurious, which requires the use of superb jewellery craftsmanship to reinterpret Cartier’s long-established complications with perspective texture and balanced composition. The Panthère Mystérieuse watch is equipped with a movement that combines mysterious beauty and a leopard style. It combines the two major elements of the most iconic brand to show its unique style.

Panthères et Colibri power reserve display watch with diamond-paved bracelet

On the new Panthères et Colibri watch, a jaguar is comfortably accompanied by a hummingbird. Such a scene is really fascinating … Gently pressing the winding crown, a little leopard jumped out of his mother’s arms, and the hummingbird flew up with gold-plated wings. Shown before our eyes is the power reserve display function of this watch. The new 9915 MC movement displays the remaining time of winding through the height of the hummingbird. The dial picture is exquisite and moving, and the decoration is simple and elegant: the black background is embellished with bright diamonds, and the soft pastures sway in the wind. The bezel is studded with dazzling diamonds, which contrast subtly with the dial. The silhouette of the jaguar is three-dimensional, and the fur is decorated with diamonds and black lacquer spots. Cartier has used brilliant creativity to interpret the complexities of fine watchmaking in a poetic way, vividly presenting the warm scene of the mother and child cuddling together.

Ballon Bleu de Cartier enamel beaded jaguar watch

Bead crafts appeared around 3,000 BC, but it didn’t reach its heyday until the Etruscans used to decorate valuables and jewellery in the 8th century BC. In order to revive this outstanding craftsmanship, Cartier has reinterpreted the pearl craftsmanship to create an extraordinary dial. This year, Cartier broke the limit and used different traditional techniques to create an enamel beaded dial. The master craftsman first cut the enamel into small pieces or crushed into powder, then stretched it into filaments, and then cut it into small pieces. After being heated by the welding torch, the filament segments will melt into pellets. The bead size depends on the diameter of the enamel filaments.

Ballon Bleu de Cartier

The master craftsman then placed the enamel beads into the base according to the color and shape of the artwork. The difficulty of this process is that the melting temperatures of different colors of enamel are different. The ball and enamel need to be fired more than thirty times according to a strict order to achieve the desired effect. The final work is breathtaking, the overall shape is meticulous, and it faithfully presents the jaguar’s deep eyes, light beards, and soft fur. This brand new work brings out the outstanding creativity of the Master Craftsmanship workshop. Engraving, polishing, enamel, jewellery, inlaying and watchmaking are integrated into one unique work.

The first animal design in this series was inspired by antiques from 1914, with a representative Ballon Bleu de Cartier case and jaguar pattern.

Ballon Bleu de Cartier Serti Vibrant

In 1914, Cartier first showed the jaguar pattern on a watch. Onyx and diamonds condense the beauty of nature, black and white staggered and paved the way, creating a precedent for speckled jewellery, heralding the advent of decorative arts advocating contrast.
