Luxury style has always had a chokehold on me, especially when it comes to watches that blur the line between jewellery and fashion history.
The Panthère de Cartier watch has been sitting on my wishlist for years , glowing in the background like an unreachable Parisian fantasy.
Designed in the 1980s and named after Cartier's iconic Panthère bracelet , it is fluid, elegant and unapologetically bold.
The only problem is the price. With a cost north of $10,000 , the Panthère remains firmly in wishful thinking territory for now.
And honestly, I am not alone. Plenty of us love the idea of luxury but also love keeping our savings intact. That is where a very convincing dupe comes in , and this one is causing a stir.
That's where the Fossil's Harlow Analogue ES5362 Watch in Two Tone comes in, currently on sale at Myer for $224.25, down from $299.
That is a saving of 25 per cent, or $74.75 , and it feels like the kind of deal you text your group chat about immediately.
Until the day I casually stroll into Cartier and walk out with the real thing, this feels like the perfect stand-in.
What makes the Panthère de Cartier so iconic is its ability to function as both a watch and a piece of jewellery.
