02 December 2015 | Girard-Perregaux, Luxury Watches, Futuristic Watches, Watch Reviews, Baselworld 2015,

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.

The first time I saw the Urwerk UR-1001 Titan I tried to understand what it was. Two minutes later, I tried to think of what else the ingenious madness of Martin Frei and Felix Baumgartner could come up with. This time machine has the same meaning of a hypercar among ...
