Welcome to my Top Swiss Chronographs Boutique: Girard-Perregaux SA is a luxury Swiss watch manufacture with its origins dating back to 1791: more than two centuries of craftsmanship and perpetual commitment to perfection. In 1791, watchmaker and goldsmith Jean-François Bautte signed his first watches. He created a manufacturing company in Geneva, grouping for the first time ever all the watchmaking facets of that time. This included the engineering of the watch all the way to the final hand-assembly and hand-polishing of each piece. In 1832, Jacques Bautte and Jean-Samuel Rossel succeeded Jean Bautte, becoming the head of the company. In 1852, the watchmaker Constant Girard founded Girard & Cie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. He then married Marie Perregaux in 1854, and the Girard-Perregaux Manufacture was founded in 1856. In 1906, Constant Girard-Gallet, who took over control of the Manufacture from his father, acquired the Bautte House and merged it with Girard-Perregaux & Cie. Since 1999, the Villa Marguerite, building in La Chaux-de-Fonds from the beginning of the 20th century, has housed the Girard-Perregaux-Museum: selection of old watches, illustrating glorious history of famous brand. There is no mystery about Girard-Perregaux, simply 230 years of craftsmanship and perpetual commitment to perfection. Since 1999, villa Marguerite has housed the Girard-Perregaux Museum. Offered Richeville is one of great manufacturer's prides! A rare find for real collectors: a nearly 30-year-old watch in perfect unworn condition.
