Girard-Perregaux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Girard-Perregaux (G-P) is a Swiss manufacturer of complex timepieces. The company can trace its origins to 1791 making it one of the older manufactures within the industry. The current name, however, would not appear until 1854 when watchmaker Constant Girard married Marie Perregaux and the modern company was born.
G-P is well known within the world of horology for the “Tourbillon Under Three Gold Bridges” or Tourbillon Sous Trois Points d'Or. The company can also claim true manufacture status, meaning that it produces the vast majority of the movements used within their timepieces, rather than relying on stock or ébauche parts made by companies such as ETA.
