A Luxury Watch for My Valentine.

Watch her face as she unwraps the small box. You have chosen the wrapping with extraordinary care, standing for hours in the department store. You are not good with that kind of stuff. You finally chose gold wrapping paper with tiny raised hearts... and now she is unwrapping the box, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. Your heart begins to thump as a sudden uncertainty rushes through you...
"Will she like it?"
I think she will. I think she will truly like the watch you have chosen.
Lets rewind a bit and bring you to the present. You have made your decision and you know a Luxury Watch is the perfect Valentines Day Gift for your loved one. You have noticed how she rummages in her bag to locate her cellphone whenever she needs the time, and how the cellphone is sometimes dead, and how she frowns slightly in mild irritation.

Thankfully THE WATCHERY has a vast array of luxury watches and the perfect one is out there. You will know when you find it.

If you want to shower you loved one with diamonds then the Concord Saratoga SL Ladies' Watch 18K White Gold Diamond Sapphire Dial Diamond Sapphire Bezel Diamond Bracelet 0308880
is a breathtaking choice. The watch is simply paved with dazzling diamonds blurring the lines between jewelry and timepiece. The shimmering diamonds are punctuated with sapphires of the deepest blue and the gems are expertly arranged on 18k white gold. The movement is precise Swiss Quartz. Currently this watch is on sale for $79,620 which saves you a remarkable $215,270.




Another elegant choice is gold. I love rose gold and it is quite a popular hue in todays market. A perfect watch for everyday and a night out is the Ebel Beluga Lady Ladies' Watch 18K Rose Gold Mother-of-Pearl Diamond Dial Diamond Bezel 5976428/9995050.
It is the riveting hue of the rose gold and the elegant mother-of-pearl spiral guilloche dial that transforms this watch into a masterpiece. From the very beginning Ebel had a ladies touch, Alice Levy, who founded Ebel in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1911, with her husband Eugene Blum.
The Ebel Beluga is 60% off at THE WATCHERY.


If your loved one is a bit of a dare devil, climbing mountains and scaling cliffs, then a Sports Watch is an excellent choice. The Golana Swiss Aura Women's Chronograph Watch Stainless Steel White Mother-of-Pearl Dial Diamond Bezel on Black Leather Strap AU200-4
Golana is a company dedicated to the quest for precision and durability. The result is a watch of supreme quality and cutting edge. This watch is excellent for everyday wear. The calf leather band is exceedingly comfortable. With a chronograph function and water resistance up to 100 meters this watch is meant to be worn and worn.




If your loved one likes a wealth of colors, well then THE WATCHERY as colors fit for a rainbow. This Girard-Perregaux Cat's Eye Automatic Ladies' Watch 18K White Gold Pink Mother-of-Pearl Dial Diamond Bezel on Pink Strap 80480D53P962-KK9D
is a delightful watch. I have always loved the Cat's Eye Collection with small complications. This watch with its smoky pink dial exudes mysterious fun and a hint of naughtiness. The watch is entirely mechanical and comes equipped with a convenient power reserve display between the 6 'o'clock and the tiny star. The watch is also automatic so no endless winding, just the gentle swinging motion of the wearers arm.




And now I will end with a simple watch, but it is in its simplicity that it has thrived for decades. The Movado Museum Watch. Nathan George Horwitt wanted a dial without clutter, thus he designed the Museum Watch. His watch which was previously known as the Dot at the Top Watch was placed in the Museum of Modern Art and consequently became known as the Museum Watch. The gold dot representing the sun at high noon, the gold hands and the gold case are striking against the black dial and strap. Immediately recognizable, this watch makes a gorgeous gift. This watch can be yours to give for a mere $273 at a 54% savings.

You notice her hands are shaking with excitement as a bit of wrapping paper flutters to the floor. She doesn't notice as her eyes are riveted to the box. She lifts the lid and her eyes begin to shine.
"Oh! It's perfect," she sighs, and you know you have made the right choice.

Girard-Perregaux and its Cat's Eyes

In 2004, Girard Perregaux launched the Cat's Eye line of Luxury Watches. Putting a strong emphasis on its women's collection, Girard Perregaux developed this line placing a small complication within each watch. The watches are quite beautiful, either housed in a horizontal or vertical oval case shaped ,and as you might already have suspected, like a cat's eye. This watch collection has so inspired the World of Luxury Watches that in 2005 the Girard-Perregaux Cat's Eye Collection won an award in China.

Girard-Perregaux Cat's Eye Automatic Ladies' Watch 18K White Gold Pink Mother-of-Pearl Dial Diamond Bezel on Pink Strap 80480D53P962-KK9D

Cat's Eye watches are powered by either the automatic mechanical GP033 L0 or the GP 033 R0 movement, which beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and has 32 rubies as well as 48 hours power reserve. In Cat's Eye Watches diamonds encircle the bezel proclaiming that although this watch has a complication it is still very much feminine. These watches are available with a gorgeous moon phase version with a smoky mother of pearl dial, and a date version with a power-reserve arc as well as a small seconds sub dial. A Tourbillon version is also available suspended beneath one gold bridge nestled in soft pink with a matching satin strap. This version has a 20 jeweled movements which beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers 75 hours of power reserve.
Girard Perregaux Cat's Eye Luxury Timepieces are available at THE WATCHERY for a fraction of the List Price. These watches are truly an investment. Girard-Perregaux are building upon this line with more remarkable an innovative timepieces.




Girard Perregaux has just unveiled a watch. A Luxury Watch that surely would steer the conversation away from those sordid secrets told over cucumber sandwiches and delicately buttered scones. How about the ...

Girard Perregaux Cat's Eye Annual and Zodiac Calender Watch.

"Brilliant. Just Brilliant," I say.

Now how many times have you asked someone, "So what sign are you?" thinking that all this odd behaviour can be explained by being a Sagittarius or a Leo. I love this watch it so feminine and so right. Like giving a man a watch with his current stock portfolio updates (if they haven't come up with that yet) The watch itself is mysterious like a palm readers circus tent with a diamond studded star. Gerard-Perregaux utilises the Horizontal oval case with hazy mother-of-pearl dial, and encircled apon the bezel by 68 diamonds. The watch beats to a GP033 automatic mechanical movement to display the time with seconds and date at the 9:00 and between the 12:00 and 3:00 position respectively. The moon phase is just below the bottom center of the watch. At the bottom like a crooked smile is zodiac indicator with wonderful illustrated depictions of each sign. The case is 35.25mm wide by 30.25 tall. The rear of the watch is comprised of clear sapphire crystal so that one can view the exceptional movement that has kept Gerard Perregaux watches ticking since 1791.


It is late and I need to prep for my New Years Resolution (going to bed at a somewhat reasonable time) however I grit my teeth as I really must blog about the other incredible Girard-Perregaux Cat's Eye movement. The Cat's Eye Haute Joaillerie Watch simply smothered in diamonds. Once in a while a Watch Company presents its favorite collection in diamonds. So how many diamonds can fit on a Girard-Perregaux Cat's Eye Movement?
394 baguette diamonds weighing (breath in) 52 carats (okay you can breath out now) itemized as follows:
Oval Case: 87 baguette diamonds weighing 7.5 carats.
Crown: 5 baguette diamonds weighing .1 carat.
Dial: 98 baguette diamonds weighing 6.5 carats.
Bracelet: 204 baguette diamonds weighing 38 carats.

The GP033 automatic movement is visible via the Sapphire crystal case back and beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations. The bridges are engraved with the Seal of Geneva or Cotes de Geneve. The surface of the 18k winding rotor is pave-set with 145 round brilliants, weighing .35 carat. The watch has a 46 hour power reserve.
This watch is available in very limited editions.

However when one purchases this watch one has to bare in mind all the hours of meticoulous labor that was required to craft this elegant timepiece. 1200 hours of highly skilled watchmaking experts working in over 10 workshops.

Girard-Perregaux has a long watch history; history Girard Perregaux makes everyday.
