About 300 for the movement. So its about what you think the case is worth, i think its the point he is making to be fair.

The older I get the more I like watches that are also jewellery. I recently bought a 1980s Longines gold tone watch with a “woven”mesh bracelet. It’s a 2 hand quartz, it’s tiny at 32mm and I love it.

It was the mid-size, Steel & Gold with date at 5 o'clock that started my now 84th watch obsession. That was back in 1979. My favourite watch in my 84nr is my Medium Size Stainless Steel Santos de Cartier on my 7.75 inch wrist. Like you say, ignore the measurements and wear and enjoy 🤩

so happy someone finally cover the cartier panthere. me and my wide have a pairing wedding watch, with her wearing the panthere in small size and the santos medium for me. many friends has complimented the choice, since most people would pick the tank over the panthere, but yet this panthere has a case design that resonates very well with the santos. my wife actually love wearing it with a black leather strap that literally transforms it into a santos dumont small which does not exist! the panthere bracelet is also really comfortable, but very difficult to size (i didnt want to risk scratching the polished edges so we brought it back to the cartier store to resize)

£25400 for the gold one is ridiculous

Grabbed a pair of Santos for a milestone wedding anniversary. They are stunning watches. Tudor/Omega fan here, so this was a leap-one I’m extremely happy I took.

Got my wife the Bollon Blue for her 40th birthday. Love Cartier. So elegant! Only downside is the lack of movement info., not just the quartz movements. Makes people unnecessarily suspicious.

Beautiful !!!!

I got myself a two-tone panthere couple months ago and love wearing it. My style is a bit dressy though so it matches my aesthetic, but I know that isn’t the case for everyone. I do agree to wear what you like. I like the daintiness of Cartier watches so much so that I got the Baignoire bangle over the weekend. They both wear like jewelry but I find that to be a pro.

Adrian there’s a large model coming this September. Ref for steel is WSPN0011

For half the price, get a vintage 2961 two-tone Santos Carree that looks almost exactly the same and has an automatic movement

I agree so much with the contrast. You don't have to just have one favourite style!

Loved the video!

As a proud owner of Panthere medium Steel for over 6 years, I agree. I somehow feel more confident but reserved as a man wearing this supposed lady’s watch.

What an amazing outcome for a beautiful watch. Always a pleasure to see MaMaCoo work your magic. Thanks for sharing this transformation with us!

These watches are stunning in precious metal and I agree that they do very much lean toward jewellery . The Rose gold versions are somewhat softer in appearance and imbue the wearer with both power and elegance. They are also very silky on the wrist. I have one gripe, the modern version of the Panthere wristwatch lacks the seconds hand which for me gives the dial essential kinetic energy, and neither do they have a calendar date window. Cartier are being mean at £ 25 K to exclude those two details. The earlier models of the Panthere possessed both.

Picked up a MaMaCoo 's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

Welcome to the club! An explorer and a cartier dress watch is the best combo to have. Benefits of the quarz movement: 6-8 years of battery life, its dead silent unlike older cartier models with quarz. It doesnt tick, it only makes a tiny sound when the minute hand moves once after each minute and it allows the watch to be under 8mm thick.

What I love about Cartier is their use of the cheapest Selitta Movements, or even 10$ Quarz, for a pricing of an inhouse movement.

Cartier is something else, same thing happened to me when I wore for the first time the 25.5mm Tank Louis, the tiny timepiece had a powerful effect on me. Aesthetically, it just kicks ass!

Welcome to the world of elegant dress watches. I tried a Santos Dumont in Rose gold. The bug is strong!

I've been a secret admirer of the Cartier Panthere for a long while (as I've got super small wrists) nice to see it's not just my guilty pleasure! Had a tank for a short while and couldn't get on with it though.

My wife has the small in gold, it’s a beautiful watch. Never considered the medium as a unisex watch, but I’ve never tried it on either. Hmm

Love that thing 👍just the perfect match with jeans and t’shirt ….just like my 1803 😎

I really don't care if it's mostly targeted towards women, I think it's a gorgeous piece and would love to see more men wear it. Like just the other day i saw Simon Porte Jacquemus wearing the full gold version with a white tee and white carpenter jeans, looked great!

I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of amzwatch. Their watches are of exceptional quality.

Would be good to see one on a Bark and Jack Nato 👀 talking as a Santos owner

Love the courage of a full gold watch.

I would go crazy without a running second hand. Lol. I have the Santos large white dial. The butterfly clasp took some getting used to, but I love the watch.

You’re right about the gold content/weight. Shouldn’t cost more than about 4K for the actual gold- and gold is easier to work with than steel… 18ct prices never make sense though.

Adrian, congratulations! You have found an alternative to the vintage Santos 2961 in the Panthere 😆 I love Cartier too 👍 in fact, the bulk of my collection is Cartier. First men’s wristwatch, first pilots watch, first watch to put screws on the bezel… Agree that Cartier is a legit watchmaker. The most amazing thing is its secondary watch market prices have recently outperformed Rolex and the holy trinity 😮

"the jeweler of kings and the king of jewelers"

Love the concept, i do indulge in this ideology myself from time to time.

Love your videography & colour grade, can I ask what body you’re using? Any lighting tips? :)

I’m with you on luxury quartz timepiece that acts like jewelry. If there’s no seconds hand ticking away it allows the design to show off its full intention without distraction. I’m totally ok with the no seconds precious metal jammies

Me too :) Something about an all gold Cartier gives off those new money 80's vibes 😅

Adrian, Keith Richards gave the Cartier 18K Panthere "street cred" a long time ago...if you like it and can afford one, wear it...BTW Eric Ku transitioned from vintage Rolex sport watches to Cartier too, so you're in good company if you go Cartier. Cheers👊

You're not alone . I with you too .I've been drawn to Cartier despite collecting chunky Divers !

As an older watch enthusiast it’s interesting to observe the gradual changing of taste and how our eye finds a watch design appealing when it didn’t in the past. Gold dress watches and Roman numerals, like Cartier, were popular in the 80s and are surging back in. All the rage with the young and fashionable. I’m not calling it the death of the sports watch but their domination is over.

I love the Tank Francaise quartz.

Panthere always looks good in full solid gold…. my mom wore one (the ladies one) back in early 90 in full gold n i always thought that was a very classy Cartier..n now she passed it on to my wife..n my wife is gonna pass it on to our daughter later on… i dont care about the price, if it looks good, i’ll buy it…

The Santos de Cartier is a great all rounder. Two straps. Elegant yet sporty, with 100m wr So easily a one watch does it all. Various sizes too.

🥰 Cartier un clásico 👏🏻👏🏻

Cartier Santos and the Dumont with strap options I understand. Not sure about this option, but, I'm glad were all different.

Fun fact, although the gold santos is the famous watch worn by Michael Douglas in Wall Street, Charlie Sheen wore a Panthere in that movie.

I think that this is the closest to the 1978 Santos, which makes me love it so much too

Be sure to let us know how you get your explorer 2 repaired when it happens Adrian. I'd be interested to know 👍

I'm genuinely impressed with how close MaMaCoo were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.

I've always viewed the Carter Panther as the woman's version of the original Santos de Cartier. It's a beautiful watch. An elegant peirce that can be unisex .I've seen many men pull it off.

Adrian, I think it’s high time to admit that the watch world is reopening to dress watches. In last 10-20 years watch enthusiasts and people in general were buying bigger watches, sport watches. But we can see slight change of this trend, with Cartier exceeding sales of Omega, with smaller watches trend. I own Cartier Santos de Cartier and can confirm: my god this watch is good, elegant, classy, extremly universal. And! It has no negative „press” that you can face owning a Rolex and other bold watches.

I too feel myself more and more drawn to this watch, although I’d need to compare it on the wrist with a Santos and a Tank. I’d only have a quartz Cartier.
