DESCRIPTION

• THE MANUFACTURE SPIRIT
  
  Girard-Perregaux’s strength continues to be built on two fundamental principles: the desire for constant progress, which is behind numerous innovations and the respect for its heritage, rich in inspiration since 1791. By cultivating these two pillars, in a subtle blend favouring integration of the watchmaking crafts, the Haute Horlogerie Manufacture preserves its authenticity and solidity, while demonstrating its great creativity.
  
  Haute Horlogerie, Vintage 1945, ww.tc, Girard-Perregaux 1966, Cat’s Eye: the Brand’s flagship collections are developed through new interpretations with unprecedented complications, with creative displays and with timeless allure. The creations dedicated to ladies vie in terms of delicacy, while the gentlemen’s models are rich in variety: the black ceramic ww.tc Shadow asserts a dynamic, technical style, while the classicism of the Vintage 1945 and Girard-Perregaux 1966 is enhanced by new concepts. Two sporty and elegant watches have again been born from the partnership with the Monte-Carlo Historic Rally.
  
  True to its Manufacture strategy, Girard-Perregaux is continuing with the development of its constant force escapement, the Constant Escapement, and its unique portfolio of high-end movements, thereby consolidating one of the most complete collections there is in the world of watchmaking. In particular two annual calendars are being presented this year, one accompanied by the equation of time indication, the other combined with the display of the signs of the zodiac.
  
  With nearly 80 filed patents, the Manufacture continues to reinvest a high proportion of its turnover in its Research & Development Centre, a genuine cornerstone of the business. It is reasserting its interest in pioneering techniques and materials, as shown in particular by the use of silicon or new technologies for certain movement components. It is consolidating its comprehensive approach, which enables it to design and produce both the external components of watches and their mechanisms. Girard-Perregaux makes in-house complete collections of movements: from Haute Horlogerie to high-end automatic winding mechanical to quartz.
  
  The Manufacture integrates tens of different skills, from engineers to master watchmakers via dial enameller, from experts in movement decoration or to technicians in the case and wristlet manufacturing workshops. Brought together in La Chaux-de-Fonds, all these specialists are at the service of Girard-Perregaux watches, which are subject to painstaking care, and now reveal their latest secrets.
  
  All of this has to happen while honouring the history of the Brand. The world-renown Museum is undergoing a major renovation effort and is due to reopen in the first half of 2009. In the meanwhile the already stunning collection has been augmented by newly acquired pieces dating from the second half of the 19th Century, attesting to the exceptional expertise Girard-Perregaux watchmakers have been displaying through the years. One of these magnificent pocket watches was a source of inspiration for a new Haute Horlogerie model: the Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with three gold Bridges. Brilliantly illustrating how the Brand reinterprets its past to design modern creations, this limited edition is aimed at connoisseurs, with codes common to all Girard-Perregaux’s new products for 2009: a design with highly developed details, making for elegance and comfort; a manufacture mechanism aiming for excellence; a rare item, born from the attention and passion of craftsmen fully mastering their disciplines; a watch conceived to generate strong emotions.
  
  WW.TC SHADOW
  
  Opting for the vigour of black, the ww.tc Shadow’s dynamism makes it a hit with technical novelties enthusiasts: its case is made from black ceramic, while the Girard-Perregaux movement features the original combination of a fly-back chronograph with the world times display.
  
  The elegance of the ww.tc collection is expressed in a watch that is confident to leave rivals in the shade. The ww.tc Shadow’s imposing 43 mm black ceramic case is the fruit of a long and meticulous manufacturing process, the only way to achieve an exceptional result. Its perfectly homogeneous texture gives it some appealing assets: extreme hardness (much higher than steel) i.e. good wear resistance, while also being particularly light and wearable. Indeed, ceramic is considerably lighter than steel, and barely heavier than titanium, while also being completely biocompatible and hypoallergenic. Like the watchmaking professionals, the electronics and aeronautics industries in particular have also taken full advantage of it.
  
  Advanced technologies are essential to achieve the ww.tc Shadow’s case. Ceramic powder, consisting of over 90 % zirconium oxide, is first mixed with a polymer to give it the characteristics required for injection moulding of the middle. This moulding is followed by several stages, including firing in a furnace heated to over 1500°C, to eliminate any porosity in the ceramic and obtain its hardness. These actions are performed with great precautions and infinite patience, since the material is highly delicate to handle prior to its final state. The machining operations, used in particular for opening up the positions for the push-buttons and crowns, are performed just as painstakingly using diamond tools, the only kind that can work ceramic. Attesting to the care taken with every detail, the case has a meticulous satin-finish to eliminate any flaw and accentuate its shadowy look. Its architecture is superbly structured by graded shadows. The sophistication of this structure is boosted via the use of an internal titanium container and special screws for securing the case-back, with these screws also used for structural assembly of racing car engines. Shortened lugs, rubber coated crowns and push-buttons supplement its sporty characteristics.
  
  True to the Brand’s principles, the ww.tc Shadow also stands out for its mechanism. Designed especially for this model, the Girard-Perregaux self-winding movement GP3387 simultaneously displays the date, the small seconds, the time in twenty-four different time zones, and a fly-back chronograph. These various functions stand out clearly against the black dial: the chronograph seconds hand is easily distinguished by its red colour, while the divisions of the three counters opt for white. A world times day/night indicator, a date at 1:30, luminescent hands and hour numerals help readability. The ww.tc Shadow’s unique style also extends to the back of the watch, which houses a tinted sapphire glass showing off the mechanism.
