The exclusive Tourbillon writing instrument is a decadent display of precious materials. Rich, pearlescent black celluloid is lightweight in the hand and brought into definition with the pure beauty of rose gold appointments. Each pen contains a milled engraving of the brand name and an engraving on the cap end of GP's famous Tourbillon cage. The clip, which is inspired by the bridge of the Three Gold Bridges Tourbillon, is crafted from rose gold, attached with solid screws, and finished with a natural ruby. Unscrew the cap of the integrated piston filler fountain pen to write with the 18k rose gold nib. Each pen is individually numbered on the instrument's base. The Tourbillon is enclosed in a miniature cherry wood desk-styled box with a bottle of premium ink and a pad of paper.Limited edition of just 20 pieces.
It has a list price of $7150 so expect to pay a hefty premium over this.

Girard-Perregaux ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping
The ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping gives the time in twenty-four time zones, with its own particular interpretation of the planet: it indicates the time not in cities, but in places famous for their fashion and luxury boutiques, such as Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Dubai or Ginza.
The mechanism allows for a subtlety in the world time display: Paris, New York and Tokyo have disappeared from the city ring, yielding pride of place to avenues and squares world-renowned as cult shopping locations. As an additional finesse, it is possible to adapt your ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping to your favourite locations, as there are several versions available. Each of them focuses on two specific venues: Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Orchard Road, or Montenapoleone and Central or Rue du Rhône and Nan Jing Xi Lu. The other time zones are indicated on the city ring by fifteen different sized diamonds, adding up to 0.18 carat.
On the dial, the hours are also punctuated by eight diamonds alternating with soft arabesques. From midnight to midday, the hour ring displays a day/night contrast, while the all-black city ring stands out elegantly against the white mother-of-pearl dial. Black also adorns the alligator strap and the onyx cabochons on the crowns. To round off the work to perfection, a bezel set with fifty-four diamonds (c. 1.95 carats) gleams against the steel case. This sophisticated watch has been designed as a haute couture model, aimed at elegant women who know what they want. With its forty-one millimetre diameter case, this piece asserts its refined style on the most graceful wrists.
