Girard-Perregaux Girard-Perregaux is a Swiss high-end watch manufacturer tracing its origins back to 1791. The history of the brand is marked by legendary watches that combine sharp design with innovative technology such as the renowned Tourbillon with three gold Bridges presented by Constant Girard-Perregaux in 1889 at the Paris Universal exhibition where he was awarded a gold medal. Devoted to the creation of state-of-the-art Haute Horlogerie, Girard-Perregaux is one of the very few watchmakers to unite all the skills of design and manufacture under the same roof including the forging of the ?heart? of the watch, the movement. With over 80 registered patents, Girard-Perregaux is fully committed to research and development to constantly fuse its unique heritage into modern watchmaking. Girard-Perregaux is majority owned by Kering. Clad in a matte-black ceramic case set with a rare silvery-white palladium bezel, the Girard-Perregaux Chrono Hawk Only Watch declares its bold identity. Hints of red on the dial and the strap underline its attachment to the Only Watch charity auction, to take place in Monaco.
