Price Matching on Watches & Jewellery
Born in the 1980s, the Cartier Panthere (also known as the Panthere de Cartier) is an ultra-flexible, free-spirited watch range that has impressed watch enthusiasts and celebrities with its stunning design since its introduction to the market. As official stockists of Cartier watches here at Banks Lyon, we are incredibly proud to showcase this beautiful collection of timepieces and offer customers a piece of Cartier history as well as stylish and sophisticated design.
The panther has been a symbol used in Cartier’s designs since 1914, when Louis Cartier created a watch with the big cat’s distinct pattern on the strap and casing. Since then, this pattern, the panther head and body, and other elements of this striking animal have been used in jewellery and watch designs alike.
However, it wasn’t until 1983 that the Panthere de Cartier watch was created, drawing inspiration from the panther but in a much more subtle and refined way. It was designed to be a jewellery watch, with the strap doubling as a stylish accessory rather than a functional element of the timepiece. It was initially offered in a choice of both materials and sizes, such as the dainty Cartier Panthere Mini, giving both men and women the option to find a watch that suited their personal style.
There have been various facelifts, functionality improvements, and limited-edition Cartier Panthere watches over the years and at Banks Lyon, we are proud to offer the latest that this outstanding collection has to offer.

The panther has long been a symbol used by Cartier, but why is this? It was first seen in an illustration as part of an invitation to a jewellery exhibition in 1914, and in the same year, a panther pattern was used on the strap of a ladies’ wristwatch. Since then, Cartier has used the patterns, shapes, and elements of the big cat throughout their jewellery designs, but it wasn’t until the 1980s that the Panthere de Cartier watch was introduced to the market. It was named this way because of the ultra-flexible bracelet, drawing inspiration from the smooth movements of the panther.
It is an iconic watch collection with an extensive range of models to choose from, some sleek, slinky, and understated, and others bold, daring, and glamorous. Regardless of the watch you choose, you are guaranteed a timepiece with the symbols of the panther running through it.
Yes, Panthere de Cartier watches are famously comfortable to wear due to the flexibility of the bracelet, which echoes the movements of the panther. This makes them ideal for daily wear. Whether you are attending a formal dinner, heading to work, or shopping, this watch is a comfortable and flexible addition to your wrist that not only feels perfect but looks incredible, too.
