Mr Fran?ois-Henri Pinault, Mrs Salma Hayek and Mr Luigi Macaluso Located in an exceptional avenue, this boutique employs a sophisticated architectural concept to showcase its enthralling universe and unique savoir-faire. In this distinguished setting, Girard-Perregaux has created a backdrop for its collections in complete alignment with its philosophy. The design was based on that of the first boutique opened by the brand in 2004 in Gstaad (Switzerland), and adapted to suit the New York milieu. The sophistication of the design can be seen in each element, for example the subtle use of Italian designers' lamps and furniture dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. At the occasion of the opening ceremony, Luigi Macaluso said: 'We are thrilled to be opening "Girard-Perregaux on Madison". This genuine Embassy of the Brand in the United States brings our spirit and philosophy to life. New York is a city I know well and that I consider "my home away from home". This opening is both a tribute to this city and an event I appreciate personally and emotionally'.

Being on the market for so long now, Girard-Perregaux knows exactly what are the today's requirements regarding watches. The watch of today must be functional and modern, accurate and extravagant and last, but not least, innovative, both in terms of technical movement and design. The modern man needs continuous change and novelty, and this is exactly what Girard-Perregaux is offering through its unique watches. This time Girard-Perregaux focuses on the aesthetical needs of women worldwide as the new watch that we're presenting is especially made for the ladies, displaying a highly feminine design. The new watch was included in the Girard-Perregaux Cat’s Eye collection and goes by the name of Girard-Perregaux Cat’s Eye Annual and Zodiac Calendars, a fancy name for an even fancier watch. Using a very classy and refined material, gold, the watch is a statement of sophistication. The case of the watch is available either on pink gold or on white gold, depending on the taste of its buyer. The most pretentious feature at this Girard-Perregaux Cat’s Eye Annual and Zodiac Calendars seems to be its bezel, which is engraved in diamonds. The designers from Girard-Perregaux have used 68 diamonds to cover all the su***ce of the bezel and the result was dazzling. Elegant and sophisticated, the bezel surrounds the gold adorned dial, together *** up an exquisite design. Although impressive through its design, the technical movement displayed by this watch cannot escape our attention. The new Girard-Perregaux Cat’s Eye Annual and Zodiac Calendars uses a self-winding movement, activated by a GP033MO Caliber. The power of this mechanism is not concentrated only on the precision of telling the time, but also on displaying some calendar related data. Apart from being equipped with a small second's display and an annual calendar, the watch has also a moon-phase indicator and a month display with the astrological signs. Innovative indeed, this watch is appealing not only to those interested in astrology and astrologic signs, but also to those interested in beautiful and sophisticated designs. The movement of this Girard-Perregaux Cat’s Eye Annual and Zodiac Calendars watch generates a 46 hours power reserve and a 30 meters water resistance assuring the best reliability under any conditions. Just as the majority of the today's watches, this watch also uses sapphire crystal both for the top of the case and for the back. The transparent case back is secured with four screws and it allows its wearer to admire the movement and the Cotes de Geneve decorated bridges. Judging by the success of this fine looking Girard-Perregaux Cat’s Eye Annual and Zodiac Calendars watch, the brand is considering *** an haute joaillerie model, with a case made completely of diamonds. To match the delicacy of the materials, diamonds and gold, the watch uses a satin strap fitted with a gold clasp. Girard-Perregaux Cat’s Eye Annual and Zodiac Calendars Watch Pictures Gallery
