How bejeweled can a woman’s wrist be? Girard-Perregaux not only answers this, but exemplifies it through the Cat’s Eye, haute jewelry for the illustrious lady who looks at time beyond a golden opportunity. Time is not gold, it’s diamond.
How bejeweled can a woman’s wrist be? Girard-Perregaux not only answers this, but exemplifies it through the Cat’s Eye, haute jewelry for the illustrious lady who looks at time beyond a golden opportunity.
The dial is dotted with 102 emerald-cut diamonds, roughly 6.6 carats, in a “Clous de Paris” hobnail motif. All the more regal with the fact that the diamond cutter must incise and calibrate each stone painstakingly to deliver the most accurate positioning of the stones. The flower image not being symmetrical and the stones not identical in shape make the craftsmanship worthy of divine applaud. Round sapphire crystals jut from the dial’s center with leaf-shaped hands.
This caliber GP033R0 self-winding movement timepiece rests in a white gold case draped with 150 emerald-cut diamonds estimated at 14.52 carats. The strap is an understated taupe-colored satin to bring out the brilliance of the gems. Sealing this glorious piece is an ardillon buckle in white gold, set with 13 baguette-cut diamonds.
The Cat’s Eye collection was created in 2004 with a desire to please women with beautiful horology and prove to the opposite that refined watchmaking knows no stereotype. Its symbolic design, along with the striking blend of beauty and technology, has won a number of distinctions. The strong features of this brand, despite its relative youth, brings fulfillment to a glamorous woman’s timeless expectations.
