The Bold & the Beautiful A deft blend of beauty and technology, the playful Cartier Panthères et Colibri Calibre 9915 MC watch ($183,000) offers an artful tableau on its dial: a diamond-adorned panther at rest with a hummingbird nearby. When the winding crown is pressed, the scene comes to life: A baby panther (hidden behind its mother) peeks out as though to chase the golden bird. Fun, yes—but functional too, for the hummingbird's position on the dial indicates the power reserve of the new 367-part movement. Enshrining it all is an 18k white-gold case set with 314 brilliant-cut diamonds, while mama panther herself is bejeweled with 270 brilliant-cut diamonds, a pear-shaped emerald eye, and black lacquer spots.
