Founded in 1791, Girard-Perregaux is one of the oldest fine watchmaking manufactures still in operation in Switzerland today. Their history is dotted with exceptional creations that bridge aesthetics and functionality to reveal the value of time. These include the iconic Laureato, born in 1975, as well as their Tourbillon ‘With Three Gold Bridges’ which made the invisible visible, transforming bridges from just a technical element to an integral part of the timepiece - a first in watchmaking. Girard-Perregaux’s place at the vanguard of horological innovation is confirmed by over one hundred recorded patents, and the innumerable prizes and distinctions they have received. They remain one of the rare watchmakers to retain Manufacture status for over two centuries by mastering all the required horological skills in-house. Their timepieces today push the boundaries of watchmaking for modern living. Girard-Perregaux is part of the Kering Group, a world leader in luxury apparel.
