About the Cartier Panthère Cougar:
Introduced in 1989, the Cartier Cougar brought a round case design to the Panthère family, combining the collection's integrated bracelet styling with the traditional Roman numeral dial, blued steel hands, and blue cabochon crown associated with Cartier watchmaking.
Unlike the square Panthère de Cartier, the Cougar features a rounded case with a polished bezel secured by eight decorative rivets. The integrated five-link bracelet continues the design language of the Panthère collection while giving the watch a distinctive appearance of its own.
Produced primarily during the 1990s, the Cougar was offered in stainless steel, two-tone gold and steel, and solid gold configurations. Reference 187904 features the 33mm two-tone design, pairing an 18K yellow gold bezel with a stainless steel case and matching gold-and-steel bracelet.
The Cougar remains one of Cartier's recognizable discontinued watch designs from the period, distinguished by its round case, riveted bezel, and integrated bracelet. This example retains the classic silver Roman numeral dial configuration and substantial two-tone construction associated with the collection.
