I need help. My first purchase from cartier. I don't know which of the three to choose.

Hmm, if you love all 3 equally, here's my personal opinion on them:
1) I do like the clash ring but I don't buy it because I wear rings on multiple fingers and the clash would hit the other rings and probably create more space between my fingers than what I'm comfortable with (b/c there's the space that my adjacent rings create + more space from the clash spikes). Though if you plan to wear alone, probably not an issue.
2) I'm pretty neutral on the bracelet. As long as it fits, comfortable, and looks good with your stack (if you stack), then I don't see why not. Would definitely suggest trying on in person, as the small sizes for Cartier jewelry (as opposed to regular size), can feel a bit too small and not as substantial for some people. (I felt that way when I went to try on the small Love bracelet vs the regular Love)
3) Panthere watch faces run small IMO. I have the TT in medium and I chose a medium over small because I like to read my watches. However, if you plan to wear it more like jewelry and won't read it as a watch, also not a bad choice. It is a quartz watch though and a lot to pay for a quartz watch. (most watch fans would prefer a mechanical or automatic) But if you're not that into watches and enjoy the convenience of a quartz (which I do), then not an issue.
Good luck and happy shopping.
Please let us know what you end up getting!

Hmmmm...it's really hard to advise without knowing what else you wear. Would you wear this purchase every day and want it to coordinate with other jewelry? Have you tried them on?
But imho, without knowing the answer to these questions, I'd go for the Clash bracelet. If you can afford the bracelet, might as well get it rather than the ring...it is only going to go up in price and is a beautiful everyday forever piece. It has enough presence to stand out on its own and can also be stacked if you like that look.
Second choice would be the watch, IF you want/use a watch and/or want to add something two-toned to your current jewelry.

I love my small two tone Panthère watch. It is much more legible than the mini for me, yet still small scaled, and dressy. I think Cartier does beautiful watches. Yes, it is a lot to pay for a quartz watch but, I have other watches and this is the one that ticked the boxes for me.
I like the Clash pieces too, I just don't own any yet and can't really comment on them beyond loving them for their edgy look and feel.
Have you been into Cartier yet to try any of these things on? Especially if you are trying to judge size or whether a piece has enough presence to wear on its own, you really need to try them in person. I like to take pics, close up and full body to get a feel for how it looks on me in terms of scale and proportion. Looking at the pics right then and there in the store can be really helpful, it may help you rule something out right away and narrow down your choices.

I have the Clash ring, the Panthère watch, and several other Cartier bracelets. If I were starting from scratch, I’d 100% go for a bracelet first. It’s my favorite jewelry category because:
1. You can actually see and enjoy it—unlike earrings or necklaces.
2. Bracelets are both comfortable and practical. I can wear them during sports, swimming, or doing dishes—unlike watches, which can get damaged, or rings, which can slip off.
3. They have more visual presence and really elevate an outfit.
4. Bracelets are more elegant and versatile—they work just as well with leggings as they do with a dress for a night out, whereas a watch doesn’t add much in that setting.
5. Stacking bracelets allows for a lot of creativity. You can mix styles, metals, or add just one standout piece, it's easy to change the vibe without overthinking it. I personally do not like to stack anything with a watch or stacking rings.
