It reprises the line's design vocabulary — articulated integrated bracelet, Roman numerals, blued hands — in a round case that softens the design.

It has been a house signature for a century: the touch of blue on the side of the case, which here answers the blued hands on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a 33mm diameter, 38mm Lug-to-lug, and 6.4mm thickness, it wears as a classic watch on a man and as a characterful watch on a woman — a guideline, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. The bracelet closes on 16.5cm and can be enlarged by adding links; its integrated construction keeps the watch close against the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54796712411473,"sku":"987904 002602","price":2992.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_07204.jpg?v=1788535795","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/cartier-panthere-cougar-watch-987904-steel-roman-1990s","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
