Girard-Perregaux Presents Exclusive Masterpieces in New York
The brand thus celebrates 220 years of watchmaking history and its everlasting reputation for being the quintessence of quality and excellence. Guests can witness a brilliant collection of timepieces from elegant pocket watches to multiple award-winning wristwatches, each infused with Girard-Perregaux's grandiose traditions of gorgeous artistry and skilled craftsmanship. The exhibit not only displays rare collections from the Museum, but also embodies the rich history of the brand and its substantial contribution to the art and science of Haute Horlogerie.

In addition to New York, Girard-Perregaux has set up a worldwide traveling exhibition of these exceptional timepieces. This traveling exhibition, before reaching New York, has been to:

• Singapore - [Art & Science Museum] - from September 16-18, 2011
• Shanghai - [Sinan Mansions] - from September 20-23, 2011
Other remarkable timepieces from the Girard-Perregaux Museum were presented in :
• Paris - [Printemps Hausmann] - August 25-October 8, 2011-10-25

Since 1971, Girard-Perregaux has been reinventing the long tradition of Swiss watchmaking. In its 220 years, the Swiss Manufacture has registered more than 80 patents in the field of watchmaking and has brought legendary creations to life. Today, the brand is one of the very few to bring together all of the skills and expertise required to produce Haute Horlogerie watches under one roof.

In its 220th anniversary celebrations, Girard-Perregaux is paying tribute to the finest moments of its history, and preparing to record even finer moments to come…

The Girard-Perregaux exhibition is so much more than a mere display of luxury wares-- they are still, first and foremost, the iconic, era-defining works in the art and science of Haute Horlogerie. To listen and observe the steady movements of these watches is to understand the spirit and genius of a particular time and place--and it is with great pleasure that we discover this exhibition where Girard-Perregaux's 220 year-old legacy is manifested within each and every timepiece in the collection.
