Gevril Mulberry Open Heart
Gevril Mulberry Open Heart
When Alva Vanderbilt entrusted eminent architect Richard Morris Hunt to create her opulent Fifth Avenue chateau, she envisioned more than just a residence; she aimed to craft a legend. And a legend it became. From 1883 until its regal demise in 1926, the mansion held its place as an iconic address in Manhattan.
As a tribute to the legacy of this remarkable abode, Gevril presents the Vanderbilt Collection – a realm of opulence, spanning time and design. These magnificent 47mm men's automatic timepieces are not just watches; they are the embodiment of heritage and prestige.
The intricate skeletonized Swiss automatic movement within is a masterpiece of precision, a symphony of engineering that leaves no secrets hidden. The open-heart design unveils the artistry at play, both on the front and back of the watch. The exhibition back, adorned with a stylized rendering of the celebrated Fifth Avenue Vanderbilt mansion, celebrates history with every tick.
Much like the renowned Vanderbilt mansion, these timepieces are designed to command attention. With an air of elegance, they seamlessly transition from the most formal soirées to the most casual encounters. The substantial 47mm size is a statement of masculinity, a boldness that exudes confidence and distinction.
This is more than a timepiece; it's an emblem of prestige and panache. It's not just meant to be worn; it's meant to be celebrated. As you embrace the legacy of the Vanderbilt Collection, you are enveloped in a tradition that spans eras – from the Fifth Avenue mansion to your wrist, echoing the resplendence of a bygone era and elevating your presence to new heights.

The history of Gevril watches is a story that combines an illustrious watchmaking past with an innovative modern revitalization. The company origins date back to the mid-18th century and Jacques Gevril, the gifted Swiss watchmaker who is the founder and inspiration of the eponymous brand.
Today the Gevril name endures thanks to the vision of a Swiss horologist and businessman who lifted the brand to its current heights as an established Swiss watch company.
Jacques Gevril was an up-and-coming watch and clockmaker in 1758 when he accompanied his colleague Pierre Jaquet-Droz on a trip to Madrid. There, the men presented a selection of complex musical automata to King Ferdinand VI. The king was so impressed he bought every piece.
Jaquet-Droz returned home the following year but Gevril remained in Spain to fortify his reputation as a master watchmaker and was appointed Royal Watchmaker by the king. Gevril lived in Spain for many years thereafter, refining his craft and producing watches for the Crown.
Gevril’s traditions were survived by future generations of Gevril watchmakers including Moyse Gevril and Daniel Gevril, who built their reputations on horological innovations and artistic enameling techniques.
Today Gevril pocket watches are highly collectible: one is even located in the Muséum Genève and another is part of the collection of the Wilsdorf family, founders of Rolex.
