Welcome to my Top Swiss Wristwatches Boutique! Gevril Watches was founded in 1758 – which was around the time when most of today’s oldest watch brands (like Vacheron Constantin and Blancpain) came into existence. Although Gevril Watches does not have the same level of public acclaim as other Swiss companies (such as Rolex, Tissot, and Patek Phillippe), it does have a notable history and origin. Gevril Watches was founded by a Swiss watchmaker named Jacques Gevril. Gevril was born in La-Chaux-de-Fonds in the year 1721. He made his first chronometer in 1743, which marked the beginning of his career. 15 years later, he accompanied Pierre Jacquet-Droz (who was a well-known watchmaker at that time) on a trip to Madrid. This trip proved to be a turning point in his career and it was after this momentous incident that the company was established. Jacquet-Droz decided to make a trip to the king of Spain in 1758 so that he could exhibit his merchandise in the royal court. Impressed by the timepieces, King Ferdinand VI bought them for a price of 2,000 pistoles (gold coins). Afterward, Jacquet-Droz returned to Switzerland but Gevril stayed in Madrid. He was appointed as the ‘Royal Clockmaker’ by the king and thereafter, he spent considerable time making clocks for the royalty and sharpening his skill. As if capturing a stolen moment of tranquility amidst the tumultuous symphony of life, Gevril presents the High Line Collection – an automatic timepiece that marries its historical lineage with an impeccable contemporary design. Bearing the name of Manhattan's revered High Line Park, a verdant haven suspended above the city on a historic steel railway spanning nearly 1.5 miles, this collection invokes the serene sensation of a leisurely stroll through a lush oasis. Exuding an aura of sophistication through its immaculate lines and masterful utilization of space, the High Line collection boasts the rhythmic pulse of Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement encased within a resplendent 43mm expanse of untainted stainless steel. The unfettered countenance of the watch, offered in a palette of Forest Green, Navy, Black, Brown, or Silver, embodies the principle that exquisitely orchestrated simplicity is a force not to be underestimated. The sunray dial, a lyrical homage to the verdant pathways of the outdoor retreat, converges seamlessly with the deep-hued bezel reminiscent of the storied West Side railway that birthed this opulent inspiration. The numerals at 6 and 12 on the dial, standing as sentinels of the journey's midpoint and culmination, pay homage to the trail's narrative, while the discreet date viewing window at 3 evokes the sensation of gazing upon the grandeur of 10th Avenue. This collection is an audacious fusion of modern innovation and historical homage, a tribute that elevates with subtlety. If the concepts of relaxation and precision were to be embodied in a timepiece, the High Line would unquestionably reign as the exemplar. For the world of architecture and horology intersect splendidly in this testament, proving that monumental significance need not arise from complexity – as the High Line Collection gracefully attests.
