Replica GIRARD PERREGAUX Watches
In 1791, watchmaker and goldsmith Jean-François Bautte signed his first watches. He created a manufacturing company in Geneva regrouping all the watch making trades of that time. In 1852, the watchmaker Constant Girard founded the Girard & Cie Firm in La Chaux-de-Fonds. He then married Marie Perregaux and the Girard-Perregaux Manufacture was born in 1856. In 1906, Constant Girard-Gallet, who took over control of the Manufacturer from his father, took over the Bautte House and merged it with Girard-Perregaux & Cie. Since then, the brand has pursued its activities by reinforcing from the 1980’s its position in the domain of prestigious mechanical watches under the lead of Luigi Macaluso.

The Manufacture has made close to 80 patents in the watch making domain and is the originator of several innovative concepts.
1880: Constant Girard develops a concept of wristwatches, made for German naval officers and ordered by Emperor Guillaume I of Germany. Two-thousand watches were produced, which represents the first important commercialization of wristwatches.
1965: Girard-Perregaux designs the first mechanic movement at high frequency, at which the balancer beats at 36,000 vibrations/hour: the Gyromatic HF.
1967: Girard-Perregaux receives the Centenary Award from the Astronomical Observatory de Neuchatel in recognition of the accomplishments of the Manufacture generally, and specifically for the Observatory Chronometer wristwatch that used the Gyromatic HF movement
1970: Girard-Perregaux presents its first watch to the world to be equipped with a quartz movement which vibrates at 32,768 hertz, the frequency remaining the universal standard for quartz watches today.
2008: The brand presents a constant force escapement at SIHH (International Show of High-End Watch making), distinguishing itself from all the other known escapements to this day.

Girard-Perregaux relies on being a Manufacture of movements and watches and a Manufacture of cases and bands. They bring together some tens of different components: watchmakers, engineers, movement decorators, polishers, etc. This global approach, founded on the traditional know-how of the watch making craftsmanship, allows them to create and direct the high quality watches and movements from the assembly stages all the way to the final encasement.

The Girard-Perregaux Manufacture designs and develops its own movements: a large collection of high-end watch making movements, of which the Tourbillon with three gold bridges is the emblematic piece.
a complete range of mechanical movements at automatic reassembly (GP2700, GP3200, GP3300, GP4500), that can fit all the types of watches, all by serving as the base for the module constructions of complicated mechanisms.
