Press Release




The GP1966 Full Calendar was awarded
"Watch of the Year 2008" in the category "Standard" by the magazine "Sekai no ude tokei – World Wrist Watch" in Tokyo a few days ago.



 

In 1966, Girard-Perregaux received the Centenary Prize of the Observatory of Neuchâtel for an extremely high-precision mechanism – a mechanical movement oscillating at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour.

 

Girard-Perregaux produced the "Girard-Perregaux 1966" collection inspired by this award and in tribute to the brand's achievements in the field of Chronometry.

 

The GP1966 Full Calendar is the marriage of a very practical watchmaking complication with supreme elegance, a sophisticated watch for every day use.

 

The brand is extremely proud and pleased for this prestigious recognition of Girard-Perregaux's excellence.
