This calibre created in-house by the Girard-Perregaux research and development team brought exceptional timing results and as a matter of consequence lead the State Council of the Canton to attribute to Girard-Perregaux the Centenery Prize of the Neuchatel Observatory. In fact the first production serie... more

Since its invention in the 18th Century, the Tourbillon has been a constant source of fascination: it is without doubt the most famous watchmaking invention of all time.   Girard-Perregaux, with a wealth of history dating back to 1791, is one of the Firms that have made a major contribution to the development of the Tourbillon. Constant Girard-Perregaux, the master watchmaker who gave the Manufacture his name, devoted a great deal of research to the Tourbillon, and to him we owe one of the most fa... more

On April 1, 2010. The long awaited GP's New York flagship boutique was open for business. Located on the corner of 63rd street and Madision Ave, right in the heart of Manhattan luxury shopping and next to Hermes, Chopard and F.P. Journe, it is a meticulously designed space that really appeals to one's senses... Upon hearing the news, I arrived the very next day, and shot some photos.     As the owners (the Macaluso family) are of Italian decent, the wooden panels, the marbles on th... more

When we do see one, however, we would have that vague warm fuzzy - the watch would speak to us and resonate with our sense of aesthetics... Here is a great example that touches me in this way. I've had it for some years, and just took it out of the safe the o... more

  It has been a month already since the last SIHH and I know that you've already seen those new watches from Girard-Perregaux. Still I wanted to share a few pictures I took myself and give some impressions.   The Laureato Tourbillon sous Trois Ponts d'Or is certainly my favourite current Girard-Perregaux watch. In fact I really love that calibre like many of you certainly do, but nearly each time I've had one on my wrist I've found it too decorated, except the Laureato and now this new version... more

I watch commercials.  I admit it. I own a digital video recorder (DVR) that allows me to record live TV and fast-forward through the commercials, but half of the time I choose to watch them anyway.  No, I’m not a glutton for punishment.  I just enjoy the art of persuasion.  With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that I actually do pay attention to the ads on PuristSPro.  For some time, one of the ads highlighted a handsome rose gold Girard-Perregaux triple calenda... more
