Girard-Perregaux - the ultimate watches

For more than 227 years, this famous Swiss manufacture has been churning out perfectly crafted superior quality products. Girard-Perregaux watches can be traced back to 1791, when Jean-François Bautte began making his first timepieces. Only years later – changes at the helm, of the company – first a son, then relatives – did the workshop change its name to Girard-Perregaux. This took place in 1906. The new proprietor paid more attention to what was at the heart of watches, hidden inside the case rather than to their appearance. It was his specific fascination with movements that inspired the creation of Girard-Perregaux's unique watch model - with three distinctive bridges.

Girard-Perregaux watches – a history

Experiments with tourbillon, the very classic Girard-Perregaux iconic watch, began as early as the 1850s. The first design of this type appeared in 1856. It was already patented five years earlier. Girard-Perregaux worked long hours to create the perfect tourbillon movement, making a name for himself as a very precise watchmaker. The pocket watches produced in the Girard-Perregaux manufacture were as accurate as astronomical watches of the time. This was confirmed by tests at the Neuchâtel Observatory for example. It is the brand's considerable heritage that makes Girard-Perregaux watches so highly regarded. And to this day the brand itself is amongst the world’s best. Classic Girard-Perregaux tourbillon watches are still on the market. The styling and movements of heritage models it makes today are reminiscent of the best models from a bygone era. The famous Girard-Perregaux three bridge watch is now 150 years old. However, its design continues to inspire admiration around the world.
