Girard Perregaux Vintage 1945 New York Special Edition

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

While CONUS poses as one of the largest markets for luxury watches, New York has an noticeable buyer power for fine timepieces. To pay tribute to their watch fans there, luxury watch brand Girard-Perregaux has created a special model of the brand’s Vintage 1945 watch exclusively for New York. This New-York-Only watch, featuring a “NY” marker at 12 o’clock position, is just limited to 10 pieces and available in New York only. tag replicas

Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 New York Limited Edition Watch, crafted from 18k white gold, is 36mm wide by 37mm tall. Based on today’s large watch standard, this handsome-looking is a bit small.

The dial, protected and enhanced by a sapphire crystal, is really beautiful.If you have discerning eyes, you will easily notice that the black color is absolutely unusual. According to Girard-Perregaux, the dial , made from top quality black enamel, applies a secret formula and is hand-made by the brand’s top artisans. Thanks to the in-house made Calibre GP1900, a hand-wound movement, the dial is able to display the dial, small seconds, the date and the power reserve indicator. And there is some red hints spicing the dial up. Overall the dial is impressively nice and highly legible.

I am sure this watch will attract those who love watches with a nice vintage touch. But I afraid not all 10 pieces will be purchased by New Yorkers. Firstly, New York welcomes lots of rich tourists everyday and not a few of them will buy watches in this city. Secondly, the whopping price of this watch will beat most New Yorkers.

Not a few people know and love high-end quartz watches by Girard Perregaux. And few people know that is Seiko that made the first quartz watch in 1969, and Girard Perregaux was one of the first Swiss watch brands that made quartz watches and it greatly contributed to the setting of the the quartz movement frequency standard-32.768 hertz. This standard is still adopted by most quartz watches. The new Girard Perregaux Laureato Quartz limited edition watch has the standard in red on the brand’s singnature octagon dial.

The new quartz watch is powered by a caliber GP13500 quartz movement that is assembled by hand and nicely decorated. Via the sapphire crystal on the case back, you can admire the movement with a gold cap on the the battery compartment.

The case and the bracelet are well constructed on steel. The red seconds hand and the red 32.768hz wording nicely set off the over dark hue that is decent, cool and attractive. The dial is simple yet stylish and very easy to read. Thanks to the quartz watch revolution, the watch is highly accurate. And that is one of its real allures. And the watch comes with a space presentation box with a nice retro touch.

The watch is limited to 40 pieces only. And I think the small quantity is far from being enough for the demand. The retail prices a bit over $11,000. I think many watch collectors will love the high-end Swiss quartz watch.
