Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Off-Centered Hour And Minute Watch Announced For SIHH 2008

Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Off-Centered Hour And Minute Watch Announced For SIHH 2008  A new model will join Girard-Perregaux's iconic Vintage 1945 watch
collection. The Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Off-Centered Hour and
Minute watch will feature a 36 X 37mm case in 18K white or rose gold, a
curved sapphire crystal, and an alligator strap with a matching gold
folding clasp.

The watch is distinguished by a hand-crafted
"grand feu" enamel dial whose creation involves the meticulous firing
of multiple layers of powdered enamel atop a plate. The classical dial,
complete with enameled red and black roman and arabic figures, is
contrasted by blued steel leaf-shaped hands.

This
Girard-Perregaux
watch is animated by a Girard-Perregaux GP01900
caliber movement. Manufactured by Girard-Perregaux, this
automatic-winding mechanism offers a sub seconds and date display, as
well as a power reserve indicator. The power reserve of the movement
is approximately 45 hours, when fully wound.
