Pre-SIHH 2015: Rêves de Panthères, A Dream of Feminity
RÊVES DE PANTHÈRES WATCH DAY/NIGHT COMPLICATION CALIBRE 9916 MC
A timeless subject of artistic watchmaking expression at Cartier, the dreamlike panther enters the decoration – at once diurnal and nocturnal – of a Day/Night movement that belongs to the great tradition of the Maison’s complications.
A complete and tangible vision of time measurement that resembles a jewellery dream lulled by a precious sky that changes from starry night to shining sun.
The figurehead of an incredible watchmaking journey, the panther, over the years, has ventured from one movement to another, sometimes skeletonised, sometimes oscillating, giving rise a creative repertoire to which the latest Rêves de Panthères watch belongs.
The famous feline appears for the first time in a pack, surrounding a fabulous disc: a graphic, feminine and jewelled interpretation of one of Cartier’s most recent Fine Watchmaking movements.
Driven by the self-winding calibre 9916 MC, the sun and the moon take turns indicating the time, appearing and disappearing in an alternating astral display, a magical spectacle observed by the three panthers.
Entirely pavé-set with diamonds, this celestial watch is an ode to Cartier’s emblematic animal. On the Rêves de Panthères watch, their silhouettes spotted with black lacquer mark the timeless aesthetic with their enchanting trace.
