History In 1994, Luigi Macaluso, the president of Girard-Perregaux and a former racing driver himself, initiated a highly successful and deeply authentic partnership with Ferrari. This collaboration marked a golden era of co-branded timepieces, celebrated for their mechanical integrity and faithful representation of the legendary Italian marque. Rather than merely stamping a logo on an existing model, Girard-Perregaux developed the "Pour Ferrari" line with dedicated design language, sophisticated movements, and meticulous finishing. These exceptional watches have since become highly sought after by both horology purists and automotive enthusiasts, representing a unique and highly respected chapter in modern Swiss watchmaking history.
