Girard-Perregaux Cats Eye Tourbillon Haute Joaillerie Watch

Posted 1 year ago


Girard-Perregaux has a new piece in the collection: an astonishing timepiece that combines refined jewelcrafting and the highest mechanical watchmaking achievement – toubrillon.

The new Girard-Perregaux Cat’s Eye Tourbillon Haute Joaillerie watch is distinguished by refined feminine design, so typical for the Cat’s Eye collection. It is encased in crystal clear baguette cut diamonds, combining 287 precious stones of almost 20 carats. Only the cutting, adjustment and setting of every stone took more than 700 hours of patient commitment. Even the crown of this watch reveals exceptional finishing with 12 baguette-cut diamonds and a single brilliant rose-cut diamond. The very style of cut is a symbol of nobility itself, used in Baroque exclusively on rare stones.



Inside of the case, crafted in white gold, is a heart that beats with the iconic Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon with gold Bridge. This is a contemporary reinterpretation of a historic movement that won a gold medal at the Paris World Fair in 1889. The tourbillon is composed of 72 individual components, skillfully nested in a cage with a diameter of one centimeter and weighing just 0.3 grams. The movement has been assembled and decorated by hand. Fitted with 20 jewels, the movement provides minimum 72 hours of power reserve.




The watch is mounted on grey satin strap, available in two variations: finished with a pin buckle or with a folding clasp. Both are crafted in white gold but the diamond setting on them varies. Pin buckle is set 13 baguette-cut diamonds (0.56 ct), while the folding clasp features 14 baguette-cut diamonds (0.62 ct). The watch is water resistant to 30 meters, and suitable for everyday wear and just some occasional splashing.
