The Triple Bridges holds a special place in the history of Girard-Perregaux, as does the tourbillon. In 1867, a watch with three bridges and one tourbillon won a prize for chronometry at Neuchâtel Observatory, and the distinctive design became a de facto logo for the brand. The striking design of the triple arrow-headed bridges is … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: 150 years of greatness, the Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges 40mm appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

One of Girard-Perregaux’s leitmotifs is the golden bridge. Typically deployed in a trio, the golden bridges - with their broad, arrow-headed shoulders and pleasing, perfectly aligned symmetry - have been holding the brand’s wheels and balances in place since 1860. The golden bridges first showed up in a wristwatch in 1981, and these days it serves as … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Stay golden – the Girard-Perregaux Classic Bridges appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Let’s be real here. Ever since we saw the new Laureato last year, we knew the chronograph version was inevitable.

An important part of the process when reviewing a watch is imagining who the watch is for. Sometimes this perceived wearer can be quite general: “someone who wants a nice dive watch”.
