历史品牌

Since its foundation in 1791, history has witnessed a series of watch-making innovations from Girard-Perregaux. As well as great technical mastery, the brand also generates expertise, having been granted in excess of 80 patents. The celebrated Tourbillon sous trois Ponts d’or and all the other creations are manufactured and assembled at the Chaux-de-fonds manufactory where every aspect of the craft of watch-making is to hand. The brand is part of the Sowind Group SA which also owns Ulysse Nardin.
