With a rich history that goes back to 1791, Girard Perregaux, the Swiss company is among the few firms that are counted as the best in the Swiss tradition of watch making. They have brought out exclusive collections of different styles over the years, setting the benchmark for the seasonal fashion trend.

The latest in their long line of haute watches is the Cats Eye Tourbillon Joaillerie watch which is an example in jeweled style. This timepiece is an extension of the Cats Eye collection which was created in 2004. The first thing that draws one’s attention to this timepiece is the precious stones that cover the entire watch. The case is made in 18k gold with a diameter of 32mm and a height of 38mm with an oval shape reminiscent of the cats eye.

The Cats Eye Tourbillon timepiece is completely covered with diamonds- from the border of the case to the inner surface. Approximately 287 diamonds – a total of 20k, have been placed strategically to envelop the case, the dial and the crown of the watch.

The inner mechanism of the watch consists of the signature Girard Perregaux caliber GP 09700-0006 tourbillon movement which can be wound manually.

The tourbillon, composed of 72 parts set in a tiny 1 cm diameter weighing just 0.3 grams can be seen on the dial. The standard Girard Perregaux Bridge holds the tourbillon escapement.

With a 72 hours power store and water resistance up to 30 meters, this classy watch with a sleek satin gray strap and a diamond studded white gold buckle is a real jewel that is elegant and stunning. The Cats Eye Tourbillon Haute Joaillerie watch is one accessory that has been created with the well heeled elite class in mind. Its exclusivity is heightened by the fact that it is a Girard Perregaux timepiece.
