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.

Invented to counteract the effects of gravity on the regulating organ of mechanical watches, this now-ubiquitous mechanism has remained long the preserve of a few watchmakers. The past few months have brought […]
When thinking about tourbillon watches, two indisputable references immediately come to mind. There is Breguet, the inventor of the tourbillon himself, and there’s Girard-Perregaux, maker of the sublime Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges. This specific, symmetrical architecture of the movement has become a hallmark for the brand and today Girard-Perregaux continues to pay tribute to […]
What’s old is new again. Gradient or “fumé” (smoked) dials are back in fashion. Popular in the 1970s, forgotten for a while and brought back on the scene recently, these colourful dials stand out with lighter tones in the centre that gradually darken towards the edges. Their gradient colour gives a rich depth to the […]
