Footnotes Constant Girard (1825-1903) designed a Tourbillon with three gold bridges in the mid 1860's for which he won a medal at the 1867 Paris Universal Exhibition. Only about twenty examples of this proprietary design were ever manufactured with the last first generation triple-bridge tourbillon made in 1911.
Fast forward over half a century and in 1981 Girard-Perregaux re-introduced the movement for a Limited Edition of twenty pocket watches. Ten years later, to celebrate their 200th anniversary, the manufacture again launched the movement but this time housed in a wristwatch. In order to fit, Girard Perregaux miniaturized the movement and re-positioned the triple bridge tourbillon from the back of the watch to the front. Previous
