Complicated watchmaking is the quintessence of the art of watchmaking. For over two centuries now, Girard Perregaux has won renown for its many remarkable creations, among them the emblematic Tourbillon with three gold Bridges. From the research and development stage right through to the final adjustments made by our master watchmakers, the Manufacture continues to enrich its heritage through its Haute Horlogerie collection. The Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon comprises 72 components perfectly adjusted and finished by hand, within a diameter of one centimetre and a total weight of 0.3g. The shape of this watch's straight bridges is inspired by a Tourbillon with three nickel Bridges created by Constant Girard-Perregaux around 1860. This watch was a major step in the genesis of the Tourbillon with three gold Bridges. The characteristic configuration of the movement?s architecture with aligned barrel, wheel train and Tourbillon is already present. The arrow-shape and the use of gold for the Bridges lie in the future.
