Tourbillon with three flying bridges
Masters of light since 1791
Girard-Perregaux has always been deeply attuned to both the technical and aesthetic dimensions of watchmaking. It has always been essential for the Manufacture to highlight and celebrate the craftsmanship of its artisans — a savoir-faire that shines through every dial. Now, the Manufacture unveils a fresh take on the Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges, limited to only 8 pieces. Housed in a white gold case and featuring three black tinted bridges centre stage, the watch masterfully plays with space, transparency, symmetry and three-dimensionality and serves as a shining example of Haute Horlogerie.

The three bridges not only support the geartrain, barrel and tourbillon, they also act as the mainplate. The result is that the bridges appear to float in mid-air, seemingly untouched by gravity. This unusual construction required the Maison to affix the indexes to the flange which in turn is attached to the case. The tourbillon is positioned to the base of the dial. Its cage is lyre-shaped, a historical design dating back to the 19th century, albeit in this instance it is made of ultra-modern Grade 5 titanium. A blued hand on the cage rotates 360° every minute and serves as a small seconds display. The tourbillon cage is comprised of 79 components and weighs a mere 0.25 grams. This remarkably low mass mitigates energy consumption, thereby contributing to the movement’s impressive power-reserve of 60 hours (minimum).
