Replica Girard-Perregaux Exclusive exhibition at PISA Store in Milan

— From November 16th until Saturday 19th, Girard-Perregaux envelops the prestigious PISA store situated at the center of Milan on the occasion of an exclusive exhibition.  

As part of its 225^th anniversary, Girard-Perregaux takes up residence in the temporary area of the PISA store to unveil its historical timepieces and latest fine watches. The brand turns the pages of its history in a radiant and distinguished setting through its commemorative 225^th anniversary limited edition creations, such as the Laureato of the 70’ or the 1957. As an homage to the Gyromatic HF of 1966, both interpret the key watchmaking moments of the Manufacture with 80 patents. Among the novelties presented is the renowned Constant Escapement L.M. in titanium, a revolutionary movement which led the model to be awarded by the Aiguille d’Or prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2013.

Sharing space alongside the novelties are the very rare to see historical timepieces such as the famous enameled yellow gold cruciform pendant-watch signed «Girard-Perregaux», circa 1870 or the Hunter pocket watch in rose gold case, with a three bridges movement, signature of Girard-Perregaux. Visitors can also discover the newest Circuito collection, a testimony to the rich history of Girard-Perregaux and the automotive world.

Cat’s Eye Tourbillon with Gold Replica Watches Bridge
The Cat’s Eye Tourbillon with Gold Bridge is a perfect fusion of expertise in both watchmaking and jewellery. Its feminine curves sparkle with 50 beautifully set diamonds
on the bezel. Its distinctive oval case in white gold frames a superb dial of meticulously decorated white mother-of-pearl. Gently rounded leaf-shaped hands float elegantly above a floral motif engraved in relief on the mother-of-pearl, the two elements coming together as one. At 6 o’clock, the iconic Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon, an embodiment of the company’s expertise, reigns majestically under a Gold Bridge delicately carved with a floral motif that echoes the dial. It precisely regulates the running of the manually wound calibre GP09700- 00012, which contains 174 parts decorated, adjusted and assembled by hand.

La Esmeralda Tourbillon
As the successor to the 27 Tourbillons with Three Bridges registered with the Neuchâtel Observatory by Girard-Perregaux from 1865 to 1911, the Esmeralda Tourbillon tells the story of a passion for aesthetics and accuracy. Its 18-carat pink-gold case measuring 44 mm in diameter houses the Tourbillon with Three Bridges mechanical calibre with auto- matic winding. Known as reference GP09400, this large 16-ligne movement, developed and manufactured in-house, takes up the entire case-band and, especially in this instance, features a 14.3 mm diameter tourbillon carriage and a 10.5 mm diameter balance wheel.
In the same vein, the unidirectional automatic winding system developed by Girard-Perregaux breaks new ground by now calling on a rotor that is positioned concentrically under the barrel rather than on the outer edge. Thanks to this ingenious construction, the watchmakers were able increase the diameter of the barrel drum and therefore lengthen the spring to give the piece a power reserve of at least 60 hours, compared to 48 hours previously. This tourbillon watch features a carriage boasting refined lines and the lyre shape of which adopts the form developed by Constant Girard-Perregaux.

Girard-Perregaux A 225th anniversary celebrated in truly extraordinary style

— A gracefully whirling expression of enchanting femininity, the Esmeralda Tourbillon by Girard-Perregaux radiates exquisite visual appeal.

This year, the brand from la Chaux-de-Fonds will be celebrating its 225th anniversary. The reinterpretation of the Esmeralda is a nice way to celebrate two centuries of watchmaking for Girard-Perregaux. It was my personal crush at this year’s show. Graced with a pure yet surprising aesthetic, this timepiece is remarkable in terms of its mechanical architecture.

Historical origins
The Esmeralda Tourbillon is inspired by the Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges pocket chronometer that won the gold medal at the 1889 Universal Exhibition in Paris. Girard-Perregaux quite rightly describes this timepiece, a mechanical expression of an aesthetic quest, as “majestic”.

Tourbillon with Three Bridges
The unique architecture is both surprising and entrancing. Reflecting a deliberate choice to provide a theatrical setting for the mechanism, Girard-Perregaux ‘stages’ the components of the timepiece, thereby infusing the tourbillon with an artistic dimension.

The double arrow-headed design of the bridges is entirely hand-decorated and harks back to the bridges of the historical Esmeralda. The surface of the arrows is mirror-polished. So as to further accentuate the visual contrast, the arms of the bridges are subtly and meticulously rounded with a burnisher: a tool serving to give a sheen to metallic coatings such as gold, silver or copper. 

The three bridges arranged in parallel immediately draw the gaze. The decision to position the diamond-polished settings at the centre of the bridges, secured by two screws, means that the barrel, central wheel and tourbillon carriage must all be aligned along the same axis.

A steadily beating heartReplica

Driven by a mechanical self-winding movement developed and crafted in-house, with a balance oscillating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, this timepiece has a minimum 60-hour power reserve. In the absence of a dial, the Esmeralda Tourbillon enables the eye to roam freely across the three pink gold bridges, the Dauphine-type hands, as well as the tourbillon carriage comprising 80 components entirely hand-finished by the skilled watchmaker who assembles them. 

Esmeralda
In early 20^th century Mexico, the watch market was dominated by ten or so watch companies, including Hauser, Zivy & Cie, a jeweller and watch retailer to whom the Girard-Perregaux watch was entrusted after the Paris exhibition. Its boutiques in both Paris and Mexico were named “La Esmeralda” and that was how the watch came by the name it still carries to this day. Shortly afterwards, the timepiece became the property of General Porfirio Diaz, then President of Mexico.

An eloquent reminder of its historical heritage, this theatrical, almost minimalist construction enabled Girard-Perregaux to win a Chronometry First Prize awarded by Neuchâtel Observatory in 1867, and thereby to establish the Swiss brand as the acknowledged master of the Tourbillon with  Three Gold Bridges complication.
