Girard-Perregaux watches

The Iconic Models of Girard-Perregaux

The Girard-Perregaux collections express different approaches to time and style: from classical elegance, defined by perfect proportions and refined finishes, to technical and aesthetic experimentation; from the sport-chic icon capable of transcending eras and contexts, to models that explore the most daring and contemporary design.

 

Each line embodies a precise vision of watchmaking, striking a balance between manufacturing tradition, innovation and character:

 

• Laureato: first launched in 1975, it offers a sporty interpretation of high-end watchmaking. The octagonal bezel, integrated bracelet and carefully studied proportions define a timepiece designed for everyday wear, with a strong visual identity and a wide variety of materials and configurations.

 

• Vintage 1945: a tribute to Art Déco aesthetics. The slightly curved rectangular case naturally follows the wrist’s profile, creating a timepiece of rare elegance.

 

• 1966: the collection recalls the elegance of the 1960s through a minimalist design created to express balance and proportion. The slim-profile round case and essential dial design create a timeless classic, a perfect synthesis of understatement and versatility.

 

• Casquette 2.0: a futuristic design icon that breaks away from traditional watchmaking codes. The aerodynamic case in black ceramic and titanium frames the red tubular LED display, offering a lateral, driver-style reading. A radical choice, designed for those seeking a cult object with a strong identity.

 

• Bridges: the movement is no longer hidden, but becomes the absolute protagonist. This collection showcases mechanical movements through its iconic bridges, which structure the openworked dial. A visible architecture that transforms mechanics into a powerful, three-dimensional design.

 

• Cat's Eye: a shaped watch and sublime expression of femininity, featuring a distinctive elliptical case housing manufacture mechanical movements and refined complications, paired with precious materials such as aventurine or mother-of-pearl and diamond settings.

 

 

The Art of Mechanics According to Girard-Perregaux

 

For over two centuries, Girard-Perregaux has preserved its independence by designing and manufacturing every movement in-house. From the development of ultra-thin automatic calibres to the most daring Grand Complications, every stage is carried out internally in the ateliers of La Chaux-de-Fonds.

 

Yet it is in decoration that technique gives way to art: hundreds of hours of manual work are devoted to enhancing each individual component. Excellence finishes such as anglage (chamfering), mirror polishing (poli-miroir), perlage and Côtes de Genève are executed with obsessive precision, ensuring that the aesthetic beauty of each calibre matches its unfailing chronometric performance.
