Here we have a classic 1990s Cartier Cougar 18ct Gold Quartz 887904 with a curvaceous larger 33mm 18ct yellow gold round case that flows over your wrist with tapered lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 38mm and a case thickness of just 6mm ensures a comfortable fit. On the right side is a blue cabochon inset crown protected by crown guards. The stepped smooth bezel has eight pips replicating the rivets seen on the original Panthère collection designed by Jeanne Toussaint and holds a flat sapphire crystal above an eggshell white dial. An outer minute rail track surrounds large black Roman numeral indices marking the hours; at 3 o’clock, a date window, elegant slender hands are complemented by a tapered second hand, and at noon, we have the Cartier motif completing this sophisticated chic dress watch. On the reverse, an 18ct yellow gold case back with the details of the watch and Swiss Hallmarks engraved; inside a quality Quartz movement, the watch comes paired with its well-suited aftermarket 17mm leather strap and secured by its Cartier signed 18ct yellow gold pin buckle.

This watch is sold as "Watch Only" and therefore comes without its Cartier box or paperwork.

In 1847, Louis-Francois Cartier founded Cartier in Paris, France. He quickly established himself by catering to the elites in society. In 1903, they created their first men's wristwatch, inspired by his pilot friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, who called it the Santos. Just four years later, in 1907, Cartier began a partnership with Edmond Jaeger of the prominent watch brand Jaeger-LeCoultre. Jaeger agreed to be the exclusive supplier of movements for Cartier watches. In 1917, they debuted the Tank. Their watches were so popular that copies soon appeared to counteract this. Cartier introduced reference numbers to each watch. In 1919, they introduced the Tank, which was inspired by the robust American tank used in the First World War. It has been famously worn by many over the years, including Andy Warhol, Alain Delon, Clarke Gable, Catherine Deneuve, and Duke Ellington. The early watches were all handmade in France, with movements by Jaeger. In 1972, a group of investors led by financial wizard Joseph Kanoui bought the company. In 1973, we saw the first “Must de Cartier'' boutique open in Biarritz, followed by one in Singapore. During the 1980s, they acquired several non-jewellery businesses, such as Beaume et Mercier in 1988 and Piaget and Alderbert in 1989. Today, Cartier is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Swiss Richemont Group, which includes IWC, Montblanc, and Vacheron Constantin.
