Girard-Perregaux, was proud to honor U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team

gold medalist Alex Morgan and celebrate her accomplishments during

Fashion’s Night Out in New York City. Morgan helped lead the U.S. Women’s

National Soccer Team to a gold medal at the London Summer Olympics with

three goals and team-high four assists.

Guests including Olympians Tim Morehouse, Dagmara Wozniak and Emily Hughes

as well as Tom Murro and other personalities attended the celebration and enjoyed

a selection of rose and white gold Girard-Perregaux timepieces, Louis Latour

wines, “gold inspired” food by Tealicious with Chef Julian Medina and gold

macaroons.

“We are very happy to honor Alex Morgan in her accomplishments during the

games these past months”, said Sowind President of Americas (Girard-Perregaux

and JeanRichard) Michael Margolis. “Her work and dedication on and off the

field are an inspiration to us all. Her last second goal against Canada still gives me,

and many soccer fans, the goosebumps.”

“It was a great honor to represent the United States in these games and bringing

the gold medal back home was an amazing feeling”, said Morgan. “I am very

appreciative of Girard-Perregaux’s friendship. I love the elegance and attention

to detail they apply to every single one of their timepieces and I had a really

great time celebrating Fashion’s Night Out and our Olympic achievements at their

beautiful boutique.”

Morgan, a fan of the brand and watches, was seen wearing a Girard-Perregaux

Cat’s Eye watch. The timepiece proves that, just like her intricate soccer

techniques, feminine shapes lend themselves wonderfully to complicated

movements. The Cat’s Eye Small Second features a rose gold case and bezel

set with diamonds and a GP manufacture automatic movement.

The small second is discretely underlined at 9 o’clock while the date indicator

remains at 3 o’clock.
