DESCRIPTION

  • THE MANUFACTURE SPIRIT

    Girard-Perregaux’s strength continues to be built on two fundamental principles: the desire for constant progress, which is behind numerous innovations and the respect for its heritage, rich in inspiration since 1791. By cultivating these two pillars, in a subtle blend favouring integration of the watchmaking crafts, the Haute Horlogerie Manufacture preserves its authenticity and solidity, while demonstrating its great creativity.

    Haute Horlogerie, Vintage 1945, ww.tc, Girard-Perregaux 1966, Cat’s Eye: the Brand’s flagship collections are developed through new interpretations with unprecedented complications, with creative displays and with timeless allure. The creations dedicated to ladies vie in terms of delicacy, while the gentlemen’s models are rich in variety: the black ceramic ww.tc Shadow asserts a dynamic, technical style, while the classicism of the Vintage 1945 and Girard-Perregaux 1966 is enhanced by new concepts. Two sporty and elegant watches have again been born from the partnership with the Monte-Carlo Historic Rally.

    True to its Manufacture strategy, Girard-Perregaux is continuing with the development of its constant force escapement, the Constant Escapement, and its unique portfolio of high-end movements, thereby consolidating one of the most complete collections there is in the world of watchmaking. In particular two annual calendars are being presented this year, one accompanied by the equation of time indication, the other combined with the display of the signs of the zodiac.

    With nearly 80 filed patents, the Manufacture continues to reinvest a high proportion of its turnover in its Research & Development Centre, a genuine cornerstone of the business. It is reasserting its interest in pioneering techniques and materials, as shown in particular by the use of silicon or new technologies for certain movement components. It is consolidating its comprehensive approach, which enables it to design and produce both the external components of watches and their mechanisms. Girard-Perregaux makes in-house complete collections of movements: from Haute Horlogerie to high-end automatic winding mechanical to quartz.

    The Manufacture integrates tens of different skills, from engineers to master watchmakers via dial enameller, from experts in movement decoration or to technicians in the case and wristlet manufacturing workshops. Brought together in La Chaux-de-Fonds, all these specialists are at the service of Girard-Perregaux watches, which are subject to painstaking care, and now reveal their latest secrets.

    All of this has to happen while honouring the history of the Brand. The world-renown Museum is undergoing a major renovation effort and is due to reopen in the first half of 2009. In the meanwhile the already stunning collection has been augmented by newly acquired pieces dating from the second half of the 19th Century, attesting to the exceptional expertise Girard-Perregaux watchmakers have been displaying through the years. One of these magnificent pocket watches was a source of inspiration for a new Haute Horlogerie model: the Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with three gold Bridges. Brilliantly illustrating how the Brand reinterprets its past to design modern creations, this limited edition is aimed at connoisseurs, with codes common to all Girard-Perregaux’s new products for 2009: a design with highly developed details, making for elegance and comfort; a manufacture mechanism aiming for excellence; a rare item, born from the attention and passion of craftsmen fully mastering their disciplines; a watch conceived to generate strong emotions.

    GIRARD-PERREGAUX 1966 ANNUAL CALENDAR AND EQUATION OF TIME

    The Manufacture is presenting a new face of its Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection, with this model featuring an original display. Its elegant round case houses a useful annual calendar along with the equation of time indication.

    Girard-Perregaux 1966 models pay tribute to the Brand’s great tradition, combining watchmaking excellence with elegant style. True to this spirit, the newcomer to the collection houses an original mechanism: the calibre GP033M0. The highly practical annual calendar, which in this case indicates the date and month, automatically counts the different lengths of the months, so that only one correction a year is required, every 28 February except for the leap years. With its hand at 4:30 the equation of time indicates the difference between real solar time and mean time or civil time. In fact, the duration of a solar day varies from day to day due to the elliptical shape of the Earth’s orbit. This astronomical complication is based on an ingenious mechanism, including an annual disc with an elliptical cam reproducing the movement of the Earth around the Sun.

    To enhance the technical quality of the model, Girard-Perregaux has fitted it with its Microvar variable inertia balance. On its rim it combines six adjustable screws and two inertia blocks, used respectively for adjusting the balance equilibrium and making a fine adjustment to the movement rate. This exclusive development gives increased accuracy and greater setting stability to the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Annual Calendar and Equation of Time.

    While the sapphire case-back allows to contemplate the movement in its complexity, discretion prevails on the dial side, with the emphasis on an original and highly readable display. Illuminated by the pink gold of the 40 millimetre case, the dial focuses on clarity: “baton“ indexes, thin “leaf“ hands and counters with precisely applied transfers for perfect readability of the functions. With its case and movement made entirely in-house by Girard-Perregaux, this watch has all the assets to seduce fine watchmaking connoisseurs.
