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.

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'.
