We honor Gjirokastër with a classic glossy-black timepiece. The 42MM dial holds the classic silver eagle engraved with pride. The dial is resting on a silver stainless steel case. The maroon Italian genuine leather strap completes the look of this timepiece, where the classic eagle and logo are engraved on the back case, crown, strap and buckle.

Often called “The Stone City,” Gjirokastër is located in Southern Albania. The city's old town is a UNESCO Word Heritage Site, because of its unique typical Ottoman architecture, beautiful side streets, and stone houses.

It was first mentioned in 1336 as part of a Byzantine Empire, and its name is thought to have derived from Princess Argjiro, who built a castle in Gjirokastër. According to the legend, she jumped to her death from the Castle of Gjirokastër to escape from the Ottomans. In 1880 The League of Prizren held a meeting in the city to discuss national security matters. The National Awakening Movement (1831-1912) was also very active in Gjirokastër. Besides experiencing the beautiful architecture of this city, other attraction not to be missed the "Gjirokastër Castle" or "The Castle of Argjiro."
