Did you know?-1966 Version Sun, 05 August 2012 20:18 Go to previous message

In 1966 Girard-Perregaux received the Centenary Prize from the Neuchâtel Observatory for extraordinary achievements in watchmaking. The winning timepiece incorporated two of the company's inventions: the self-winding Gyromatic system and a fast-beat caliber that achieved a frequency of 36,000 vph.

Introduced in 2006, the current 1966 lines pays tribute to the historic events of that year. Current offerings include basic time and date only models all the way up to chronographs full and annual calendars
