When "Haute Horlogerie" combines tourbillon and astronomy, just a handful of luxury brands are allowed to join the party. Among the most astonishing creations, I would no doubt pick some masterpieces by Montblanc and Jaeger-LeCoultre, yet one single brand comes to my mind in terms of such products over the …

The Tourbillon is the complication par excellence; the one, where the skills of a watch-maker are put to the test and it is also the complication that brings together, for a brief moment, big and small manufactures, because this is where the concept of serial production leaves room for the …

Tuning with Antonio Calce is a matter of moments. You sit next to him during an evening, in which Girard-Perregaux invited the specialized press to the Terrazza Gallia and, after a few moments, it seems as if you have known each other since forever. It is a gift that only …

The history of the Laureato keeps on getting more and more interesting; what I thought was actually an “experiment” turned out to be much more than that and, one year after the launch of the first modern version of the Laureato, Girard-Perregaux stroke back with a brand new collection. Among …

In 1957, Girard-Perregaux presented a solution that managed to enhance the performance of winding rotors by substituting roller-equipped unidirectional clutches for the ratchet wheels which, if compared to traditional solutions still used in automatic timepieces from that time, enabled both the rotor’s unidirectional movement and a longer lasting performance. This solution also …

The Girard-Perregaux three-counter-chronographs are among the most sought-after timepieces because of their style, quality, and market value. Models like the Montecarlo 1973 with its wonderful Panda dial or the Montecarlo 1965 with its vintage cream dial are definitely among today’s most interesting, current, and stylish pieces even if we include …

Girard-Perregaux are injecting new life into their new 1966 collection. They broke a taboo and have released, for the very first time, a 1966 timepiece made of stainless steel (please see our article and pictures about it at the Artissima fair in Turin on here) and this year they will release …

I really like the new path that Girard-Perregaux have decided to embark on. Anniversaries are moments when a manufacturer wants to show what it can really do and 225 years in business represent an important milestone and the perfect occasion to re-launch the brand’s image. Girard-Perregaux start their 2016 by …

Although Girard-Perregaux haven't invented the tourbillon watch itself, they were among the first manufacturers to adopt it and further develop it, and that's why the brand from La Chaux de Fonds is strongly linked to the history of haute-horlogerie. In the last two centuries, the manufacturer has striven to achieve a …

It is a fact that the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Steel won't be remembered solely for being the first steel watch that is part of the 1966 collection. This is the first time that the Swiss manufacturer has used steel material for one of its most classic and iconic timepieces and this …
