Paris Gallery Boutique, gracefully located at Tahila St. in Jeddah, will organize on 7th of January a big celebration marking the 130th anniversary of watchmaker SAINT HONORÉ. On the anniversary, SAINT HONORE has designed a collector's timepiece: the first ever to be made from a piece of metal girder from the world's most famous French monument, Eiffel Tower. It is worth to mention that Paris Gallery has become the authorized dealers for SAINT HONORE products in the Kingdom. 

 

Commenting on this important milestone for SAINT HONORE, Mr. Ahmed Shaheen, the General Manager of Paris Gallery Boutique said: “All people today are proud and happy of this centenary which it is actually seen as a good opportunity to trustfully confirm our deep commitment to our vision of “relentless pursuit for creative works and true challengeable change”. 

 

SAINT HONORE has used this precious component to make the bezel, its decoration and brown colour an unmistakable reference to the French monument. The bezel surrounds a raised dial at its centre, revealing the wheel train of the automatic mechanical movement specially personalised by SAINT HONORE. Mounted on an elegant brown “Croco Design” leather strap, the timepiece has been manufactured in a limited series of 1,885 pieces in steel (in homage to the year the watchmaking house was established),  offering a unique opportunity to wear on your wrist an exceptional symbol of France and the technological genius of “Gustave Eiffel”. This limited edition of 1,885 pieces marries geometric shapes and curves in reference to its historical provenance and the glamorous spirit of the age. Pairing a sparkling polished steel case with an immaculate white leather strap, or a warm rose gold case on a brown leather strap, the new Eiffel Tower watch was born to appeal to devotees of fine mechanisms.

 

42 mm steel case, bezel carved from a piece of the Eiffel Tower decorated with a diamond motif, silver open dial echoing the architecture of the Eiffel Tower, Sellita SW 200 automatic movement, personalised oscillating weight and crown, date, sapphire glass, water resistant to 50 m, brown faux crocodile skin strap with an “Tour Eiffel” pin buckle, limited series of 1,885 pieces in steel, collector’s case, certificate of authenticity signed by the Eiffel Tower Committee (SETE), made in Switzerland.
