Girard-Perreguax watches are to be considered one of the greatest watches in it`s class. Having over 100 years of expeirence, Girard-Perreguax has made a wonderful name for it`s self in the highgrade watch industry by introducing new and exquist time pieces to it`s collection.

"In 1791, Bautte and Mouline founded a factory in Geneva to manufacture watches. Half a Century later, in 1856, watchmaker Constant Girard married Marie Perregaux and the unified firm of Girard-Perregaux began. Soon after its creation, the House gained notoriety with its first mass production of ultra-flat watches. In doing so, it made its first marks towards a long list of technological achievements as well as a long history of tradition of quality. To this day, each of the watches` component is inspected at each stage of its handling. Most of Girard-Perregaux`s creations are personalized identifiable, and meant for the true connoisseur of "haute couture." The "Tourbillon sous Trois Ponts d`Or" (`Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges") won Girard-Perregaux two gold medals at the Paris Universal Exhibitions in 1867 and 1889 and has since become a collector`s dream. In 1981, Girard-Perregaux`s team of watchmakers proved by the "re-edition" of twenty `Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges" pocket watches, how they had mastered the skill and knowledge which the assembling of such a watch requires. Some 6 to 8 months are needed, with the craftsmen working on custom-making the various pieces, testing the mechanism, and hand assembling the timepieces, to make a single `Tourbillon." Only 20 reproductions will be produced by the end of this century. It`s quite an undertaking for any House, but Girard-Perregaux is no stranger to completing tasks of great magnitude. Showcased in its own museum is the first high frequency mechanical movement realized in 1966; the first quartz movement produced at an industrial level in Switzerland, and the "Equation Espace Perpetuelle," an avant-garde synthesis between traditional watchmaking and microelectronics indicating new advancements in the world production of watches. The "Time Keepers" of the world are solidly set to become the time keepers of the coming millennium."
