Girard-Perregaux Debuts Limited-Edition Quasar Light Tourbillon Watch With A Case Made From A Single Sapphire Disk
Sapphire-cased timepieces have become a new material frontier in high-end watchmaking over the past several years, acting as a 360 degree showcase for highly decorated or complex movements. The latest brand to throw its hat in the ring in this ongoing material arms race is Girard-Perregaux, which has taken the use of sapphire a step beyond the norm with its new limited-edition Quasar Light.
