In the 1960s, Girard-Perregaux was one of the very few watchmaking Manufactures to have its own Research & Development team.
In 1966, Girard-Perregaux launched the first high frequency movement, based on its own "Gyromatic" technology. This innovation was to offer a exceptionally accurate level of performance. So much so, in fact, that 73% of the chronometer certificates issued by the Neuchâtel Observatory in 1967 were awarded to Girard-Perregaux.
The Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection pays tribute to this period by integrating the fruits of Girard-Perregaux's ongoing Research & Development commitment, with its sophisticated self-winding movements housed in a particularly elegant case.
