The second annual TimeCrafters show included an exceptional selection of new and iconic timepieces and exhibits that we only wis we had more time to check out during the press preview.
We did have a few moments to spend at the stately Girard-Perregaux exhibit --- (that reminded us of the watch brand's plush Madison Avenue boutique where we had the pleasure of spending Fashion Night Out-with Olympic star Alex Morgan)...
Very handsome-the Girard-Perrigaux Vintage 1945 Watches- art deco inspired...understated---pictured here -a new model featuring the date and moon phase ...
Frederique Constant-a Swiss watch brand -acclaimed for its in-house movements/components /craftsmanship at accessible "luxury" prices---introduced the new, limited edition Slim Line Automatic Collection for men...classic retro styling...with a see through back case of see-through sapphire crystal- which to better admire the finely decorated caliber.
