To celebrate the relaunch of Cartier’s Panthere de Cartier watch, which first debuted in 1983, the jewelry brand tapped Sofia Coppola to direct a short film campaign, citing her vision of the ‘80s and her female perspective as attractive characteristics. Said Coppola of the film, set to Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love,” “When the Panthere watch came out in 1983, there were so many great movies, and I love the stars of that time. I remember the glamorous kind of women who wore a Panthère watch. It was just a stylish time to remember and to propose a modern interpretation of it.”
