Cartier's En Équilibre high jewellery collection in Stockholm: Alexander Skarsgård, Zoe Saldaña and Deepika Pakudone converge on Artipelag as the maison unveils restrained, elegant pieces
Cartier is no stranger to European capitals such as Madrid and Vienna , and this time the Parisian jeweller chose Stockholm for the unveiling of its latest high jewellery collection. Named En Équilibre ('In Balance'), the range is a celebration of the elements that define Cartier's essence – streamlined design, incredibly rare stones, and boundless creativity that never overshadows the raw materials. Rien de trop – or 'not too much of anything' – is the guiding principle of a collection emphasising timeless design and highlighting the natural beauty of stones.

Photo: Handout Even bold pieces depicting some of Cartier's signature motifs – such the iconic panther and multi-hued tutti-frutti – are a master study in restraint. 'En Équilibre is less a theme or an inspiration than an approach, a different angle. It's linked to something that is our general way of looking at jewellery,' said Pierre Rainero, Cartier's image, style and heritage director, in an interview on the day of the launch in Stockholm. 'Every time we choose a theme, the theme should give a new dimension to what the Cartier style is. At Cartier there's a notion of balance, and balance is subjective and that subjectivity defines our style. There's not one absolute idea of balance.' Rainero adds that while balance and restraint are key elements of Cartier's DNA, that doesn't necessarily mean that the maison can't be bold. 'Rien de trop is my vision of the Cartier style, but we're not enemies of decoration,' he explains. 'Throughout the centuries there have been many arguments about minimalism versus decoration, and function versus form. At Cartier there's no debate because decoration has a role to play if it makes sense – but not for the sake of it. It can be there, but not too much of it.' Cartier's Tsagaan necklace depicts a snow leopard. Photo: Handout The Tsagaan necklace, for instance, is a perfect exemplar of Cartier's ability to evoke the essence of a creature while staying true to the purity of design Rainero describes. Made of white gold, white diamonds and onyx, the stunning piece represents an elusive snow leopard as it hides in the snow. You have to look closely to see the feline's features, which are abstract yet figurative. It's testament to the skills of Cartier's high jewellery design studio – helmed by creative director of high jewellery Jacqueline Karachi – and of the maison's workshops.

Style Edit: At Watches and Wonders 2025, Cartier reshaped its horological icons – adding a new Tank Louis Cartier, Tank à Guichets, Panthère jewellery, and Panthère de Cartier and Tressage models
Shape means everything to Cartier's watchmakers, whose vision, time and again, is grounded in a simplicity of line and respect for proportion. The French jeweller conquered the market for dress watches in the early 20th century with a simple rectangle. Its boxy face flanked by brancards and lugs extending into the bracelet, the groundbreaking 1917 Tank echoed the outline of a World War I tank. Then, when the iconic Panthère, star of rings and bracelets, was let loose in watch form, it was realised as a square with rounded corners. Cartier continues to be a master of metamorphosis, constantly reinterpreting and transforming its beloved creations. The maison's latest releases at Watches and Wonders 2025 are perfect cases in point. Tank Louis Cartier in yellow gold. Photo: Handout Advertisement The Tank has perhaps seen the most renewal over the years, with a plethora of iterations rolling out to excite successive generations. Indeed, the original Tank was reworked just five years on, when the more refined Tank Louis Cartier debuted in 1922 in an elongated rectangular case with softer angles. Now the 2025 Tank Louis Cartier, available in yellow gold or rose gold, not only extends the sophisticated silhouette but also updates the engine: the watch is larger at 38.1mm by 27.75mm, and is powered by a new in-house mechanical movement with automatic winding. Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets in platinum. Photo: Handout A Tank like no other commands attention as this year's coveted Cartier Privé release. Pared back to the extreme in a closed brushed-gold rectangular case interrupted only by two small windows displaying a digital reading of time, the art deco-influenced Tank à Guichets was audacious in 1928, and time has not changed this. It now boasts a new mechanism, the hand-wound 9755 MC calibre, with jumping hours and dragging minutes, but these two units are revealed at apertures at 12 o'clock and six o'clock respectively, just as they were almost a century ago. Today's watch comes in three new versions, crafted from yellow gold, rose gold or platinum, but there's also a limited edition Tank à Guichets encased in platinum with attractive burgundy numerals. Here, the windows are positioned asymmetrically: the hour appears vertically at 10 o'clock and the minutes on a rail track in an inverted arch at four o'clock. Cartier Panthère jewellery watch in yellow gold with diamonds, tsavorites, onyx and black lacquer. Photo: Handout Two further novelties are resplendent odes to the power of the panther in the Cartier universe. The latest Panthère jewellery watch unites the maison's jewellery and watchmaking arms in a bangle watch that is a sculptural work of art.
