We’ve said it already and we’ll say it again: the most active and sought-after category of watches for the last couple of years is, without a doubt, the ‘luxury sports watch’. A category of watches defined by their mix of luxurious appeal, relatively robust cases and integrated bracelets or straps. Dominated for long by the […]
Revisited in 2016 with a line of limited editions, followed by serial production models a year later, the Laureato is Girard’s Perregaux vision of a luxury sports watch. A few months back we covered the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute Crystal Rock with a sandwich dial and a case crafted from carbon glass. Now, the Swiss luxury […]
Born in the mid-1970s and relaunched a few years ago, the Laureato is GP’s answer to the growing market of the luxury sports watch. This classic watch has been joined recently with a bolder, sportier edition, the Laureato Absolute. With this new 100-piece limited edition, the design of the Girard-Perregaux Laureato is reinforced by an […]
Most of the new watches for 2020 have been launched online. That’s pretty different from any other year when Baselworld and SIHH (now Watches & Wonders) were THE places for new launches. For the sales of watches, the digital world has already played a role for a longer period. Some brands already have e-commerce, some are testing it in selected markets. A rather big global player in this field might just be an unexpected player, namely the luxury fashion e-comm site NET-A-PORTER and MR PORTER. Just after the latest Watches & Wonders launches, they partnered as the privileged multi-brand online retailers of Watches & Wonders. And we had a look and selected the coolest, the classiest and the funkiest of the Watches & Wonders novelties for sale at MR PORTER.
During our visit to Geneva Watch Days, the only main watch-related event organised this year in Europe, we were able to discover some of the timepieces introduced earlier this year in the metal, as well as all-new models from more than 15 brands. One of these exhibitors was Girard-Perregaux, which released a wide variety of […]

Presented during Geneva Watch Days, the 1966 Infinity and the Vintage 1945 Infinity models are limited editions and don a sophisticated black-tie look. Girard-Perregaux 1966 Infinity Girard-Perregaux presented its first […]
In addition to its main 2020 novelty, the Free Bridge, Girard-Perregaux also benefits from the Geneva Watch Days to announce an exclusive distribution agreement with retailer Wempe across Germany. To celebrate this partnership, the brand is unveiling a special version of its steel sports watch with integrated bracelet fitted with a handsome black onyx dial, […]
To coincide with the Geneva Watch Days event, Girard-Perregaux is launching a new member in the Bridges family, a modern take on this iconic range (which can go from ultra-classical to technical) known as the Girard-Perregaux Free Bridge. Relying on some elements of the legendary Three Bridges of 1867, it adds modernity in the style […]
Perhaps not the best-known collection at Girard-Perregaux, eclipsed somewhat by the prominence given to its Laureato luxury sports watch family and its heritage Bridges collection, the 1966 is where you’ll find simple, elegant round dress watches with a touch of retro. The latest model to join the 1966 family is the Orion, a trilogy of […]
Originally presented in 2019, the Quasar is a bold iteration of the Girard-Perregaux Neo-Tourbillon, a futuristic take on the century-old Tourbillon with Three Bridges. With last year’s model, the striking design of this iconic movement was presented in all its glory inside a sapphire case revealing its architecture from all angles. Girard-Perregaux now unveils a […]
