Toussaint became Cartier Fine Jewellery\u2019s creative director in 1933, a position few women could hold at the time. She was appointed to this position by none other than Louis Cartier himself, which she considered as both a friend and a soulmate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/jeannetoussaint.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32856\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jeanne Toussaint pictured here in her office in Paris (rue de la Paix) in 1962 \u2013 photographed by Cecil Beaton Archives \u00a9 Cond\u00e9 Nast.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since she set foot in Cartier\u2019s workshops in 1918-1919, she continuously refined her innate creative gift. She perfected her already masterful and witty style, which was considered unparalleled in Paris on the eve of the Roaring Twenties. Her piercing blue stare and her fierce demeanour earned her the moniker of \u201cLa Panth\u00e8re\u201d, or the panther. She paved the way for a different, and now widely held view of modern women: independent, bold, sensuous, audacious, and femme fatale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/panthere3d.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32855\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">1949: three-dimensional panther brooch, checkered with sapphires, diamonds, and yellow diamonds.<br>On this brooch, purchase by the Duchess of Windsor, the wild beast sits crouched a top a 152.35 carat cabochon sapphire.<br>Vincent Wulveryck \u2013 Collection Cartier \u00a9 Cartier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Toussaint took advantage of the contest created by the illustrator Peter Lemarchand, who joined Cartier in 1927, to take the big cat out of the flat world of two-dimensional space and into the third, breathing new life into it. The brooch-pin from 1949 represents a panther checkered with sapphires, diamonds, and yellow diamonds, nobly standing over a 152.35 carat cabochon sapphire. This formidable technical and aesthetic feat was bespoken for the Duchess of Windsor.

This feline symbolizes power and the romanticized dreams of far-off lands. Slowly but surely, it crept into the world of art, getting into every nook and cranny, and eventually earning a place in these different spheres. As is gained in popularity, the beast become progressively less wild. Cartier managed to tame the great beast, finally domesticating it, and giving it a regal spot among his rich and eclectic menagerie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cartierbarbier.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32861\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">1914: Louis Cartier commissioned George Barbier to create an invitation-card for a jewellery show bearing a lady with a panther.

In this technique, unique to Cartier, each gem is girdled and set with tiny metal grains. The grains are then lengthened and curved, turning them into neat strings, which are meant to represent the feline\u2019s hair. This technique requires the savoir-faire of both a gem-cutter and a setter to create incredibly life-like fur. The spots are created to add a sense of volume to the piece. These spots are larger and densely packed around the visible portion of the surface of the panther and grow sparse and smaller as they move to the hidden side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cartier21.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32847\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Panth\u00e8re de Cartier bracelet, gray gold, onyx, set with two emeralds and 647 brilliant-cut diamonds, weighing a total of 7.56 carats (\u20ac177,000).<br>Length: 8.33mm \u2013 Width: 4.7mm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pantherabstraction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering how iconic the image of the nimble and twisting panther is in everyone\u2019s mind, no need to represent it in a realistic manner.

Whether realistic or pictorial, the spry feline icon is constantly reinventing itself and never ceases to amaze. The panther catches our eye with its restless appearance and the great tension held within its physical form. Be it geometric or like brushstrokes, the Panth\u00e8re always fills all three dimensions with it shapes: their snout, eyes, jowls, or their pointed ears. The pointed angles compliment the panther\u2019s ferocity, making it seem even more wild and powerful. This is best exemplified by the remarkable bracelet in the jewellery edition of the Panth\u00e8re de Cartier watch. Crafted by the creative studio and the workshop, this piece is perfectly articulated and designed to blend seamlessly with the wearer\u2019s wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cartier8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32838\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Panth\u00e8re de Cartier watch, yellow gold (38.2mm), pear-shaped tsavorite eyes, onyx, and black lacquer dial.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As techniques evolve, so too does the Panth\u00e8re.

At times she appears as we would expect: catlike and nimble, but she can also surprise us by shapeshifting into, albeit domesticated, abstraction. Cartier and the Panth\u00e8re are one, inseparable. Addressing this paradox for us, here is an interview with Cyrille Vigneron, CEO of Cartier, one of high fashion\u2019s most iconic
