A piece of hybrid architecture

The excellence and virtuosity of the Maison’s talented artisans form a singular alchemy. Through their work, with the panther's presence, materials are transformed to bring spectacular creations to life.

The two faces of a singular watch

A blend of watchmaking and jewellery, this creation combines elements rooted in the Maison’s stylistic history. First there’s the three-dimensional panther that’s ready to pounce; then there’s the ‘Toi & Moi’ bracelet, featuring the Maison’s emblematic feline on one side and a delicate watch on the other. In yellow or white gold, this singular piece of architecture reveals a highly realistic sculptural work of art: a leaping body, slender muscles, ear and nose details, and, under the paws, painstakingly crafted pads.

Radiant, like the panther

With polished yellow gold and black lacquer for the spots, the feline with tsavorite eyes plays on the contrast from the black lacquer dial and diamond-paved bezel. Setting a diamond at 12 o’clock brings everything together, by way of an hour-marker.

From watchmaking to jewellery

A true jewellery piece, this watch in white gold sparkles with the light of 1100 diamonds. An intrinsic piece of jewellery created after 230 hours of meticulous jewellery-making, polishing and setting. As part of their perpetual quest for realism, the jewellers have chosen the fur setting for this emerald-eyed panther. This signature area of expertise for the Maison consists of folding the metal around the onyx to create tiny threads resembling hair. Against the panther, diamonds are omnipresent, from the entirely paved dial to the snow-set bracelet, whose varying appearance creates an astonishing texture effect.

This watch, full of character, is part of a long tradition at the Maison. Over the years, the panther has revealed itself through numerous creative journeys. Today, it illustrates an astonishing ability to redesign, reflecting its power as much as its loyalty to the values it symbolises.
