A New Voice For Time: Girard-Perregaux’s Minute Repeater Flying Bridges

The Minute Repeater Flying Bridges embodies the vision of avant-garde Haute Horlogerie and signals a new chapter in the history of Girard-Perregaux’s chiming timepieces. Its openworked calibre is both an aesthetic statement and a technical decision. By revealing the movement’s intricate architecture, the airy construction also enhances acoustic performance, allowing sound waves to resonate freely within the case with minimal obstruction.

Showcasing a contemporary interpretation of the manufacture’s mastery in striking watches, Calibre GP9530 unites horological expertise dating back to the late 18th century with cutting-edge 21st-century engineering. The movement features an extraordinary 1,340 hand-polished chamfers, including 295 interior angles, making light a central element of its visual identity.
