Cartier Cougar, 18K Yellow Gold | 1990s
Established in 1847, Cartier has defined luxury watchmaking through restraint and precision. The Cougar sits in that lineage—overlooked, but genuinely excellent.
This example dates to the mid-1990s and is executed entirely in 18K yellow gold. The 33mm case carries classical proportions: thin at 9.5mm, refined at the wrist, built to slip beneath a dress cuff without compromise. The dial is cream-colored with Roman numerals and blued steel hands—period-correct and understated.
The quartz movement is reliable and maintenance-free. Unlike mechanical watches, this requires no winding, no servicing, no ritual. Wear it when you want. Let it rest when you don't.
Condition is good throughout, with expected light patina consistent with age and use. The watch comes on a leather strap with a plated Cartier-style buckle. Original box and papers are not included.
Cartier pieces from this era—particularly in precious metal—have proven to be tangible assets. Gold holds value.
