Girard-Perregaux @ Christie’s Annual Green Auction

Girard-Perregaux announced the creation of a unique timepiece to be auctioned during Christie’s Annual Green Auction 2012. The event, hosted by Christie’s for the third time took place at Rockefeller Center a few days before Earth Day. The Green Auction is a borderless collaboration of individuals, organizations, and businesses who are engaged, in spirit and action, in the protection and conservation of the environment. The star-studded affair is expected to raise millions of dollars in proceeds for four of the world’s leading environmental nonprofits- Oceana, Conservation International (CI), Central Park Conservancy (CPC), and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)- specifically to benefit water-conservation projects central to each organization. “It is important for all of us at Girard-Perregaux to contribute with our own grain of sand in this important fight, which is of great importance for our future generations and an issue that needs much support to increase awareness”.  Says Michele Sofisti, CEO of Sowind Group (Girard-Perregaux and JeanRichard). The Sea Hawk “Green Auction” 1000 features a steel and rubber 44 mm case and houses a Girard-Perregaux manufacture automatic movement with 46 hours power reserve indicator and is water resistant to 1,000 meters.
