Cartier Panthere Cougar Watch 26mm Yellow Gold Diamond

Cartier Panthere Cougar Watch 26mm Yellow Gold Diamond

The Cartier Panthère Cougar watch emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s as an evolution of Cartier’s celebrated Panthère collection—yet it quickly developed its own distinct identity. While the original Panthère, launched in 1983, was defined by its elegant square case, silky five-link bracelet, and jewellery-like presence, Cartier saw an opportunity to expand the line with a version that offered a softer, more universal aesthetic. The result was the Panthère Cougar, a watch that preserved the sensual fluidity of the Panthère bracelet but paired it with a round case, giving the collection a fresh silhouette.

The name “Cougar” reflected Cartier’s ongoing fascination with big-cat imagery, but it also subtly differentiated the model from its square-cased sibling. The Cougar offered all the signatures of the Maison—Roman numerals, blued-steel sword hands, cabochon sapphire crown, and refined proportions—while appealing to wearers who preferred a classic circular dial. It was produced in sizes ranging from women’s to larger unisex and men’s versions, often in steel-and-gold or full gold, making it a versatile choice within Cartier’s lineup.

In the 1990s, the Panthère Cougar became a favorite among clients who wanted the iconic Panthère style but with a more understated, rounded presence. Its comfortable bracelet and slim quartz movement made it practical for everyday wear, while its Cartier elegance ensured it remained a status piece.

Though the classic Panthère was discontinued in the 2000s—and later revived in 2017—the Cougar was not part of the modern relaunch, giving vintage pieces a certain rarity. Today, the Panthère Cougar sits as a distinct and collectible branch of Cartier’s feline-inspired legacy: a watch that blends the spirit of the Panthère with a uniquely graceful, round-cased charm.
