As far as I know this is the first new high-end Gevril watch that I have seen in quite some time. For 2011 is the Time Square collection starting with this 1200 Times Square men's model in 18k rose gold. The style is interesting and high-end looking, but seems to borrow a lot from some other popular watches. Most notably you'll see a lot of Girard-Perregaux and Jaeger-LeCoultre in the design.

I am happy about the large size for the case, as it will be 42mm wide. That isn't super large for a round watch, but feels a lot bigger in a more square watch such as this. The case is curved to fit over your wrist better and I like how the sapphire crystal over the dial matches the curve. The dial is pretty nice, and feels like what would happen if you combined Cartier and Franck Muller. Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA 2896 automatic big date movement. The watch is attached to a nice looking 18k gold bracelet. Overall the piece is nice even though the movement is something you can find in much less expensive models (without all that gold of course). It could be a handsome looking piece on the price. Price is $25,000, and Gevril 1200 Times Square watch will be limited to 250 pieces only.
