Girard-Perregaux

Founded in 1791, the Swiss label Girard-Perregaux has certainly stood the test of time, proving itself to be one of the leading watchmaking houses in the world. Pairing technical innovation with design artistry, a Girard-Perregaux watch promises durability, functionality and style. 

During the 1970s, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato was a sought-after watch. Here at Selfridges, you can shop from the reimagined Laureato collection. While staying true to the sporty silhouette of the 70s design, which boasted an integrated strap and octagonal bezel, these contemporary models feature sleek modern materials and finishes. Think high-tech titanium, brilliant-cut diamonds and architectural stainless steel. 

Own a piece of watchmaking mastery with a Girard-Perregaux automatic watch. The mechanics of these self-winding watches are complex  – a single movement can involve more than 400 individual parts. The delicacy and precision are not only found on the inside, however, as you can expect intricate watch faces that shine a light on the label's artistry. As well as telling the time, many Girard-Perregaux dials feature dedicated displays for the date, day, month and year, as well as for the phases of the moon. With this level of design quality, you'll not only be taking a watch home – but a piece of technological art.
