Girard-Perregaux

With over 30 calibres, 80 patents, and a 234-year heritage, Girard-Perregaux is a master of Haute Horlogerie. From the start, the brand stood out as a pioneer. In 1791, it introduced the concept of a modern integrated manufacture, a first that inspired the industry. Its leaders shaped its prestige with a visionary spirit. Key milestones followed: the Three Bridges Tourbillon (1867), the High Frequency movement (1965), the quartz frequency standard (1971), and the Constant Escapement (2013), winner of the Aiguille d'Or. These breakthroughs come from in-house teams passionate about innovation and tradition. Design is just as central. The Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges, awarded in 1889, was a technical and visual revolution. Laureato, launched in 1975, emerged from bold, symmetrical design. Its octogonal bezel, inspired by the 14-faceted bezel of the 1969 Deep Diver, defines its identity. Today, Girard-Perregaux stands as a symbol of luxury and timeless style. Girard-Perregaux and its sister Maison Ulysse Nardin form an independent collective of high horology Manufactures, named Sowind Group SA. In 2024, the collective became the first company in Switzerland’s luxury industry to be recognized by Deloitte as one of Switzerland’s Best Managed Companies, a distinction it proudly achieved for the second consecutive year in 2025.
