REPOSTED - Due to an outage with BLOGGER on Thursday, a few posts were lost and now are being reposted.
As a kid, I loved to play with Legos. Taking all of the many pieces and trying to put them together. As I got older, I moved on to puzzles. I have a hard enough time trying to put together a 100 piece puzzle. So I try to imagine working with identical stones - let's say diamonds... I can't even imagine!

But that is just what the dream-weavers at Girard-Perregaux have done. It takes more than 700 painstakingly-careful hours of work to create the gown that cloaks this horological confection.
But this is more than just another pretty girl. Her heart beats through the Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon with gold bridge. Brains and beauty!
