Cartier Cougar, yellow gold, Ref. 887921, 1990s
Identity
Cartier Cougar, Ref. 887921, 1990s. Quartz movement. 18-carat yellow gold case, 26 mm, crown set with a sapphire cabochon. White dial with Roman numerals, railway minute track, blued hands, date window at 3 o'clock. Sapphire crystal. Leather strap, Cartier 18-carat gold folding clasp.
Horological context
Cartier — "the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers", in the phrase attributed to King Edward VII — made the watch a jewel from the early twentieth century. The Cougar appeared in the early 1990s as a round variation of the Panthère, launched in 1983: the square case gave way to a round one, but the screw-set bezel inherited from the Santos remained. The line was offered in steel, gold and steel or yellow gold, in several sizes, on leather or a metal bracelet, up to diamond-set executions.
Character
The eight screws punctuating the bezel are echoed on the caseback. The lugs extend the case band and flare in a soft curve towards the strap. At X, the maison's secret signature slips into the stroke of the Roman numeral, visible only up close.
Serviced watch. Very good condition. Delivered with the brand box and the Contre-Temps 24-month warranty certificate.
