Girard-Perregaux
La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland
Founded in 1791, Girard-Perregaux is one of Switzerland’s oldest watch manufactures. The Maison is particularly famous for its Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges, a technical and aesthetic tour de force that remains a defining signature of the brand. At its manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Girard-Perregaux produces collections such as the sporty-elegant Laureato, originally launched in 1975 and reinterpreted in 2017, the refined 1966 line, and the Bridges models, which stand out for their innovative constructions.
