Is Cartier On a Mission to Make Everything For Everybody?

Is a jumbo-sized Panthère a curious contradiction? Can you be feline and elegant with supersized specs? The Panthère has the mythical quality bestowed upon Cartier designs that mean, regardless of size, they are never really dismissed as just "ladies watches," which is likely even more true for the Panthère because it has always been unisex. Back in the '80s it was spotted on the wrists of "it boys" Pierce Brosnan and Keith Richards. What should be noted about supersizing a Panthère is Cartier's intention to broaden its appeal. Much like the shrinking of a Tank LC to mini size, they are making everything for everybody. Their sheer popularity warrants this approach as feasible.
