New Girard-Perregaux 1966 Collection Chronograph Watch

December 17th, 2009

The SIHH 2010 is sure to be a grand event full of brilliant watches. The brand new Girard-Perregaux 1966 Collection chronograph watch is likely to be one of the most brightest models among them. Classic design, strong movement, and extreme elegance consist the reasons.

As the newest member of the vintage Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection, the novel watch is finely dressed in a round polished case made of 18K rose or white gold. The streamlined case embraces a white dial with a plain and simple design. Two subdials symmetrically lie on the central zone of the dial: a 30-minute chronograph at 3:00 and a second counter at 9:00. It is highly harmonious that the rose or white gold tone in the bezel, markers and numerals, the white color of the dial, and the black track of the tachymeter scale contrast finely with each other. The heat-blued second hand add kind of smartness to the overall design. Beside the case is a delicate gold winding crown and a pair of push-pieces.

The new GP watch comes with a black leather watch, equipped with a rose or white gold buckle. It is water-resistant to 30 meters, and the protection is provided by sapphire crystals.

Inside the watch is a 23.68 mm GP030C0 automatic column-wheel chronograph movement. It was exclusively available for GP’s ladies timepieces. And the new Girard-Perregaux 1966 Collection chronograph watch, with its 40mm case, is certainly a men watch. Is it the so-called neutral style? The watch undoubtedly forms an unique reversal for the velvet glove. I am looking forward to its performance in Geneva, Switzerland on 18 January 2010, where and when the SIHH 2010 will be held.

Luxury Watches and NBA <1> – Panerai and Micheal Jordan

November 16th, 2009

This isn’t the first time that I have came out of a idea that I should write something about luxury watch and NBA, for my enthusiasm for both of them. NBA players, especially those first-team stars, earn the best salary and speak for a huge range of brands. However, it is not easy to associate them with luxury watches. In fact, there is very few NBA players with a title as spokesman for luxury watch brands, and even the greatest basketball player of all time can’t be one of the very few.

Micheal Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time and also one of the most marketed sports figures in history. 6-time NBA Champion, 6-time NBA Finals MVP, 5-time NBA MVP… The list of Jordan’s achievement in basketball field can be very, very long and ground-breaking. Another NBA figure Magic Johnson once said:” There is Micheal Jordan and then there’s rest of us.” MJ has been a major spokesman for such brands as Nike, Coca-Cola, Chevrolet, Gatorade, McDonald’s, Ball Park Franks, Rayovac, Wheaties, Hanes, and MCI. Yes, he has not spoken for any luxury watch brands (I don’t think Nike will view watches as its main products), but Micheal Jordan is truly a watch enthusiast, especially for Panerai.

You may think Rolex or Patek Phillipe can be a better match to Micheal Jordan’s performance on the court, which is extremely competitive and triumphant. However, MJ is famous for his silky skills and certain purity of energy, as well as the ability to dominant. And the people “in the know” would never doubt Micheal’s favor in Panerai. It is not surprising to hear the news that MJ wears a Panerai watch on a certain event or presents Panerai watches as gifts to his relatives or friends. I have to say, the signature big diameter of Panerai collection suits him very well.

As the official supplier of the Royal Italian Navy, Panerai is famous for its Radiomir and Luminor watches and precision instruments. Serving as a key role in the sinking of Allied naval vessels in WWII, Panerai watches are legendary and prestige. Among the devotees of Panerai can be found many celebrities, for its largest diameter and concise temperament. The movie superstar Sylvester Stallone spotted and bought a Panerai Luminor in a jewelry store in Rome in 1995 to wear during shooting of the film Daylight. He once ordered a small batch of such watches with his signature on the case back, called Slytech. He offered them as gifts to friends, including Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The sporting world is a field Panerai knows well. A new partnership was signed with Panerai to develop, manufacture and distribute watches under the Ferrari trademark, When the contract between Girard-Perregaux and Ferrari expired.

Panerai releases many watches as either limited or special editions producing fewer watches than the market demands. Retailers may only receive a few limited edition pieces each per year and long waiting lists for popular models are not uncommon.

Micheal Jordan and Panerai, are truly partners without a contract. And Kevin will continue the series of “Luxury watch and NBA” with stories between Audemars Piguet and Shaquille O’Neal.

Buying watches hours of Girard Perregaux ww.tc 24 women have called the show the most beautiful watches in the 2008 Official Price Journal: Husbands everywhere weep

Buying watches hours of Girard Perregaux ww.tc 24 women have called the show the most beautiful watches in the 2008 Official Price Journal: Husbands everywhere weep
Is it really necessary to improve the purchase even more? The 24 hours of purchase of Girard Perregaux ww.tc are a woman ’s watch shows based on popular financial Girard Perregaux ww.tc and called to serve as a competent market timer financial work. The financial ww.tc is a time zone of the world and shows beautiful and functional calendar for those who must be aware of the opening and the exact time of the financial markets of the world. The watch was enclosed by an arc or dark rich investors in the world.

In a certain ironic twist, Girard Perregaux, takes the same concept and converts it into a woman ’s watch on, not earning money, but rather spending. Instead of financial markets in-command list, the 24 major shopping areas of shopping lists for hours around the world (9 of them). In fact, let me clarify, they aren ‘important areas of procurement of t, these are the areas majorly expensive purchases. The world famous Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills (the highest rent per square foot area on the planet) to the Ginza area of Tokyo, Girard Perregaux ww.tc 24 hours of purchase will be a constant reminder to that special lady of how important it is to waste the hard earned income on the UN-necessaries overestimated. Even if the woman adorning this watch simply spending his own money, you can ‘t deny that there are reasonable places to shop. But if you are located in designated areas around the chapter, you couldn ‘t really use a watch more appropriate. There is no indication, I can spend money in a model (and grace) as this highly polished stainless steel, watch studded with diamonds.
The 24 hours of purchases ww.tc are actually rather quite large for a woman la ’s show to 41mm wide. This is seen for a few really great men. The watch has more than 60 diamonds which are located on the mount and the face. Both crowns are onyx cabochons, which are always a nice touch. Pearl’s face is especially nice contrast to the sky theme design dial. Within is an automatic mechanical movement manufactured internal caliber caliber GP033GO Girard Perregaux. The features are plenty, but the face is not cluttered. Seconds are shown through the small left hand near the crescent moon, and there is also an indicator of power reserve. You will notice a small ring rotation around the main dial. It is the 24 hour dials. It is used to show day and night as well as the time in other cities. The left crown is used to adjust the time for each divided into zones commutation, or in this case, change in area of procurement. Oddly enough, the date is omitted. The movement would have benefited from a day of the week indicator, as stores tend to be closed or have shorter hours on weekends.

DES Watches 2008 Official Price of the Journal has called Girard Perregaux the most beautiful woman ’s show of the year for 2008. The official journal watch or not, I ‘t agree that this is the most beautiful woman ‘ s show of the year. It certainly is well made and beautifully designed, but not the best in my opinion. This would probably be something else, perhaps a Piaget or a Breguet. Hope you had a happy shopping season!
