COMMON TIME Yokohama Motomachi


A rich collection to enjoy in a place associated with François-Perregaux

 COMMON TIME is a watch specialty store run by jewelry specialty store CHARMY. There are three stores in Yokohama and one in Shibuya, with the largest of these being the COMMON TIME Yokohama Motomachi Main Store.

 Girard-Perregaux and Yokohama have a very deep connection. François Perregaux, a member of the founding family, set sail at Yokohama Port in 1860, shortly after the port opened, and is said to be the first person to introduce Swiss watches to Japan.

 At the time, Japan was using the "seasonal time system," but after the Meiji Restoration in 1868, it adopted the Western Gregorian calendar in 73. After much hard work, he was successful in developing the market, starting up businesses importing products other than watches and establishing other companies.

 Located in Yokohama, the hub of Swiss watchmaking, COMMON TIME Yokohama Motomachi Main Store, which sells Girard-Perregaux watches, will be holding a "Girard-Perregaux Campaign" from Wednesday, August 25th. The brand's collection will be displayed in one corner of the spacious floor, allowing visitors to see many models.

Laureato

Girard-Perregaux "Laureato 42mm"
This is the standard model of Girard-Perregaux's signature Laureato collection. In addition to the hour, minute, and second hands, it features a date display, making it a useful addition to everyday wear. The collection, launched in 1975, is characterised by its octagonal bezel and case-integrated bracelet, which were the precursors to the "luxury sports" design that has become a hot topic in recent years. The beautiful dial, featuring a delicate Clous de Paris pattern, is available in three colours: blue, black, and silver.
Automatic movement (Cal. GP01800). 28,800 vibrations per hour. Power reserve: approximately 54 hours. Stainless steel case (42mm diameter). Water resistant to 100m. 1,419,000 yen (tax included). Receive an original gift as a special gift with every purchase of the Girard-Perregaux collection at COMMON TIME Yokohama Motomachi Main Store. *Gifts are available while supplies last.
