CARTIER – INTERVIEW WITH CAROLE FORESTIER

Interview with Mr Stefano Macaluso, Managing Director of Girard-Perregaux,  for the 220th anniversary of the brand and the presentation of its collection of historical timepieces in the New York boutique of Madison Avenue.

The new Horological Machine from MB&F is yet another timepiece bringing us back to our childhood dreams, but this time the theme is super cars from the 70′s. The HM5 displays time vertically through a prism and has a digital feel to it. The movement is placed horizontally within a waterproof case onto which the outer zirconium case is rigged, like the architecture of super cars! Limited to 66 pieces, the HM5 is priced around CHF 55’000.- swiss francs suggested retail price.

A special video report from Tokyo with Mr Stefano Macaluso and Mr François-Henri Pinault explaining the special link between Girard-Perregaux and Japan as the brand celebrates its 150 years presence in this country. Mr François Perregaux was actually the first Swiss citizen to live in Japan and died in 1877 in Yokohama.

Valérie Debély, PR Manager of Corum, explains us the strategy and the development of the brand’s presence in various sailing related events during the recent Bol d’Or race on Lake Geneva.

During the SIHH 2012, Dominique Flechon, watch historian and author of the book “The mastery of time”, gives us his view on the notion of time through time!
