SOMETIMES DREAMS COME TRUE; Cartier's Cheetha cufflinks are touching the shelves Cartier and cufflinks…….. A while ago we did an overview about the current and past collection. There was one pair that got quite some attention and questions from the readers; the Panther head cufflinks from the eighties.

But with a firm order, anyone can get them from the Boutique.

Any white metal Tank looks great with these links Wim, but I think I have said that earlier,
I match the three colors too. Pink gold watch with white metal links, or yellow links with a steel Santos.
The style of these pieces is só unmistakable Cartier, that it always matches enough for my liking.
But I know most people like to wear one color at the time, which is probably the best.

In pink gold they would look stunning.

These new Cheetah heads are a wonderful addition to the collection! Very stylish and absolutely wearable in more than one occassion! The white metal in combination with the eyes and Jade are well done and I guess the owner is very happy with them!

To bad that they are so difficult to get but hey, that's what we call exclusive! ;-)
thanks again and I loved your post and the side to side comparison.

One last question; which watch is the best match to wear with these links?

While the panther looks exiting, too exiting for my taste I must admit, the new cheetah looks like cufflinks I could wear. Thanx for sharing the beautiful cufflinks and like always, beautifully photographed!]]> Monochrome Cartier Thu, 05 Apr 2012 02:49:34 -0500 http://revo-online.com/forums/main/read.php?33,1006374,1006374#msg-1006374 SOMETIMES DREAMS COME TRUE; Cartier's Cheetha cufflinks are touching the shelves http://revo-online.com/forums/main/read.php?33,1006374,1006374#msg-1006374 Cartier and cufflinks……..

A while ago we did an overview about the current and past collection.
There was one pair that got quite some attention and questions from the readers;
the Panther head cufflinks from the eighties.



These links were produced for a short period and are still very much sought after.
They came in yellow- or in white gold and there were versions set with diamonds.

Last year Cartier announced a new pair like that, but now in rhodium plated silver
and very different styled!
A bit smaler, more smooth and the white color makes a huge difference.





Cartier calls them 'Cheetah' heads and the model is part of the 'Panther' collection.
In december the links were finally released and distributed, but only to some Boutiques
and in very, little numbers
At the moment they are very hard to find and probably sold out at the Boutiques,
but I was informed that they will be available again later this year, but again very limited
and may be not at all Boutiques.

The Cheetah heads are very nicely made and completely closed.
In fact they are made in massif silver, like many models in the collection these days
and are palladium finished, so they do not tarnish.
The eyes are lacquered and the ball end is set with jade.

The link itself is curved differently from the 'Panther head' links,
may be I should say, that the curve is in the opposite direction



that's why (in contrary to the Panther version),
the heads of the 'Cheetah' links are facing up,



while the Panther heads are facing down.



The overall size is smaller than it's predecessor and one may find that,



because of the smaller size, they are easier to wear, to any occasion,
they're less bold, less eye catching and probably more discreet.
They do look best on a plain shirt, or soft cross check or stripe, since they are quite detailed.
The blue shirt in the picture is a bit busy.

I would say, well done Cartier and thanks a lot for bringing this very interesting concept
back in the catalogue!
