RAPAPORT... Cartier unveiled an unusual watch in which the dial displays
a panther chasing a ball to indicate the time, Forbes reported. Its price is
yet to be decided.
The Panthère Joueuse de Cartier timepiece is unique in that it has no hands. Instead,
the diamond ball indicates the hours and the panther’s paw and head indicate
the minutes. The panther, an iconic Cartier symbol, appears to be continually
pouncing as it chases the ball, which is set on a moving disk on the edge of
the dial.
The watch is made from 18-karat white gold and its case is
set with 320 brilliant-cut diamonds. The panther contains 255 brilliant-cut
diamonds, with lacquer ‘spots’ and emerald ‘eyes’. The timepiece comes either
with a strap or with a bracelet. The strap version weighs almost 6 carats, while
the bracelet version weighing 17.80 carats, Forbes said.
The release of the new product comes ahead of the Salon
International de la Haute Horlogerie, a watch exhibition to be held in Geneva
from January 16.
