From the owner's wife's collection.

Elegant and sophisticated, the Cartier Cougar watch has a true high-fashion style. With its screwed in bezel and Roman numeral dial, the Cougar has a distinctly "Cartier" look and its design, dial, and band give it a bit more edge than the traditional Panthere. We love the band on this watch, which has a really distinctive look.

Today's offering showcases this mens size Cougar Panthere in steel. While not especially large, it is the largest size Panthere and is larger than many of Cartier's similar watches from the era, measuring 33mm without the guards and crown, although the bracelet has had links previously taken out so it only fits a wrist of approx. 6.25 inches.

The dial has a great unique hue that is part dark gray with a little brown mixed in.

The watch is in gorgeous and presents as about a 9.7 out of 10. The bracelet shows no stretch.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Cartier Panthere:
Celebrated for their impeccable quality and flawless designs, Cartier watches are among the most luxurious in the world. Worn by Bill Clinton, Elton John, and Djimon Hounsou and Jennifer Aniston, Anna Wintour, and the late Princess Diana, the company's watches have long been favorites of royalty, Hollywood celebrities, and any person desiring to wear a watch of distinction.

The Panthere is one of the company's long-standing jewelry and watch models and the Cougar is one of its distinctive versions.
