Girard-Perregaux unveils the "Constant Escapement"

Its principle is an escapement spring with a frame integrating a silicon blade thinner than a human hair. Cutting-edge materials and advanced technologies were used to produce it. This system provides constant amplitude and constant rate.

The "Constant escapement" gives rise to a staggering number of possibilities for Haute Horlogerie mechanical movements, mainly in terms of improved precision. A hundred and fifty years after the legendary Tourbillon with three Bridges was invented by Constant Girard, Girard-Perregaux has created an innovation that will become a cult object for lovers of Haute Horlogerie, asserts Luigi Macaluso, CEO of the SOWIND Group.
