The Swiss watch industry has had more than its fair share of ups and downs this year. And, certainly, so has Girard-Perregaux, which despite its longevity and the tremendous history it has backing it up, has struggled for many years to get itself on solid footing and to establish a solid identity. Historically, there have been several sides to the company: on the one hand there is the very, very refined pocket watch production (much, though not all of it, from the 19th and early 20th centuries). On the other hand, there are the many very solid, if not exactly ground-breaking watches made by GP after World War II, which were generally built around solid, mid-range, third-party movements.
