History
Girard-Perregaux traces its origins to 1791, when Jean-François Bautte established a watchmaking workshop in Geneva, making it one of the oldest Swiss manufactures. The house earned legendary status with its Three Gold Bridges tourbillon, first patented in 1884. Throughout centuries GP built a formidable reputation for complicated watchmaking, yet a fully in-house minute repeater — requiring hundreds of hours of hand-finishing per movement — represents a new milestone from its ateliers in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
