Additional Information
Much can be said about Girard-Perregaux’s Neo-Tourbillon with Three Bridges. The Tourbillon with Three Golden Bridges has been an intricate part of Girard Perregaux’s history as well as a major force in their current collection. Yet that didn’t stop them from introducing the Neo-Tourbillon, a whole different approach to a very familiar watch.
The dial is protected by a uniquely shaped sapphire crystal that is placed directly into the case. The Neo-Tourbillon does therefore not feature a bezel and allows for a larger part of the dial to be visible. More importantly is that Girard-Perregaux shaped the sapphire crystal like a box, in such a way that it eliminates as much reflections as possible. This allows to observe the movement from nearly every angle, even from the sides. With most watches this is not a necessity, adding very little to the overall experience of observing the watch, but because of the three dimensional nature of the bridges this is quite the opposite for the Neo-Tourbillon.
The heart of the Neo-tourbillon is also completely revised compared to the one that powers the Tourbillon with Three Golden Bridges. For the very first time Girard-Perregaux crafted the Tourbillon-cage out of titanium. This makes it that the tourbillon weighs only 0.25 grams, despite consisting out of 80 parts and even feature an increased diameter of 14.44 mm. But that is not all that is new when it comes to the movement. The winding system of the watch now features a white gold microrotor that is tucked away entirely under the main spring barrel. By increasing the size of the main spring barrel the Neo-Tourbillon also has a longer power reserve, now boasting an impressive 72 hours.
About Girard-Perregaux
Since 1791 when J. F. Bautte created his first ultra-thin timepieces, this Geneva master watchmaker has produced exceptional timepieces. Constant Girard developed the wristwatch concept in 1880 after German Emperor Wilhelm I ordered the novel timepieces for the German navy. Although not immediately popular, the concept eventually took off and in 1930, sales of wristwatches exceeded pocketwatches for the first time.
