Cartier’s beloved emblem, Panthère de Cartier, is set to make a grand entrance, prowling into the concrete jungle of Kuala Lumpur with the unveiling of the immersive Into The Wild installation. Debuting in 1914 on a watch as the Maison’s first figurative panther—abstract rendering with a coat of onyx and diamond spots, the panther has been established as a symbol of the House. And thanks to the legacy of Jeanne Toussaint, the felline is eternally intertwined with the style icon, trailblazer and free spirit—herself nicknamed “La Panthère”.

For over a century, the panther has proven to be a creative and endless source of inspiration, exuding its power, freedom and defiance to define Cartier’s treasure trove of jewellery designs, watchmaking, fine leather goods, home accessories, eyewear and high perfumery. Graduating from an abstraction to a figurative expression, the indomitable animal has been continuously reinvented over the years into a vast array of iterations including naturalist, sculptural and graphic renditions—always injected with a sense of life and movement through inventive design and unparalleled craftsmanship.
