Jeanne Toussaint, who was Cartier's creative director in 1933, was nicknamed “La Panthere”. The animal later became an iconic motif of the maison.
As a part of the reopening celebrations of the Cartier flagship boutique at Ion Orchard in Singappore, an exhibition titled Cartier, Icon Of Style has been specially curated – showcasing selected historic and extraordinary jewellery pieces.
Cartier was the first jeweller to adopt the panther. The elegant feline was used for the first time on a wristwatch in 1914 with the setting of onyx recreating the animal’s fur.
