For as long as I can remember I have a weak spot for Girard-Perregaux. The fascination for this brand started with me when my father bought a vintage piece back in the 90’s. I started exploring what’s behind this sophisticatedly sounding name that originated in 1791. In the early 2010’s I was able to purchase my own GP, 49805 WW.TC Worldtimer. Besides being one of the most attractive world timers ever in my opinion, I also got more and more impressed by the quality of the product.
Explore boundaries in horology
A close look at any recent GP makes you wonder why this brand is not more appreciated by the audience. We’re looking at a brand that not only brings heritage and high quality watchmaking. Girard-Perregaux also an innovative mindset throughout history. From the historic Three Bridges, via the 1970’s quartz Casquette to the Constant Escapement LM and the recent outrageous Quasar Azure: it all indicates how open this brand is to explore boundaries in horology.
