Since it was opened in 1999, the Girard-Perregaux Museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds has exhibited major collections of the prestigious Swiss manufacture's antique watches and historical documents. Now, while the museum is being renovated, Girard-Perregaux has organized a temporary exhibition at the House of Boucheron (26 place Vendme 75001 Paris).
Boucheron and Girard-Perregaux celebrate a new chapter in their relationship by launching an exclusive limited edition watch which combines their uncompromising obsession with the very finest craftsmanship and a ceaseless desire to create exceptional objects.
For this special occasion, Girard-Perregaux has created an elegantly simple model. The natural choice was a round case, expressing a modern yet timeless character, and designed by Luigi Macaluso in 1985 for the Manufacture's Haute Horlogerie models. Its form incorporates a chamfered bezel featuring a light satin finish, paired with a middle whose exquisite curves extend into lugs providing exceptional comfort on the wrist.
A true Girard-Perregaux classic, the self-winding mechanical movement includes moon phases and large date displays (patented system for optimal readability with no separating line between the tens and units). Beautifully symmetrical, the perfectly balanced dial proudly bears the name of the two Brands as well as Boucheron's address: 26, place Vendme.
