Girard Perregaux Cat's Eye
Today Girard Perregaux is a highly appreciated brand. It is dated back to the 19th century when Constantin Girard married Marie Perregaux. Later in 1856 a watchmaking factory was built in La Chaux-de-Fonds where it can be seen today. Throughout its history the company introduced many innovations in the world of watchmaking proving its abilities to create complicated timepieces.

Girard Perregaux creates the highest quality timepieces that are seen today on the watch market. In upper level of watchmaking called Haute Horlogerie the brand is highly appreciated for the style of its watches. Nowadays the company has a status of a cultural symbol of the town in which the electronic and micro-mechanical as well as chemical and aerospace industries are highly developed - La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Recently the brand launched its next marvelous and exclusive timepiece called Cat's Eye. The latter is a watch line designed for ladies. The latest Cat's Eye model has a luxurious case covered in brilliants. The face of the watch is in mother-of-pearl combined with a precise movement that has so-called "small complications". The complications include a power reserve display and a moon phase indicator.

The new timepiece from the Cat's Eye collection has a black mother-of-pearl dial. At the top of the dial there is a moon phase indicator where the moon waxes and later wanes. The retrograde hand outlines the seconds and the week days. The date is displayed in the center window of the dial.

Having a seductive design which women simply cannot resist the timepiece is equipped with technical complexities performed with traditional Swiss standard of precision. The main characteristics of the watch include:
- a Calibre 11 ½Movement;
- a 28.800 Vibr./h (4 Hz) Frequency;
- 36 jewels;
- about 46 hours power reserve;
- sapphire crystals;
- the mechanism can bee seen through the case fastened with 4 screws;
- 30 meters water resistance.

The famous brand had its ups and downs but today it continues creating its own movements for the timepieces that will be highly appreciated by the watch fans for sure.

A master of elegance still amazes the public with its brilliant and exclusive timepiece which are not only luxurious having gems and diamonds but also include complicated mechanisms made with considerations to the highest standards of precision set by the Swiss watch manufacturers.

Paraphrasing the words of the brand's manager, a person does not need a Girard Perregaux watch to show off, the timepiece created by the famous brand refers mainly to the state of mind rather than a status symbol.
