One of the most interesting astronomical watches of the year is the Girard-Perregaux Cosmos, a watch that made it to the GPHG’s list of pre-selected watches in the Calendar and Astronomy category. This poetic and highly complicated timepiece, belonging to the Bridges collection, is a stunning interpretation of the “Earth to Sky” theme.
Dominating the center of the dial are two complete globes – celestial and terrestrial. At 3 o’clock, a terrestrial globe serves as a day/night indicator, while a sky chart occupies the 9 o’clock position. The hours and minutes dial is offset to 12 o’clock, while the majestic tourbillon spins behind a blackened titanium bridge at 6 o’clock. A tinted sapphire glass serves as a backdrop for the numerous indicators. Dotted with luminescent hydroceramic particles, it remains invisible during the day, only to enliven by night offering a time-lapse view of the sky.
The sky chart, which rotates every 23 hours, 58 minutes and 4 seconds (the exact duration of the sidereal day) is laser engraved on a blue-tinted titanium globe. The sphere reveals zodiac stellar formations, the twelve constellations known for more than 2500 years. At noon, on the dial side, the celestial globe displays the constellation to which the Earth belongs, which is normally invisible and hidden by the Sun. The one that is visible at midnight is shown on the case-back side. The complete globe at 3 o’clock serves as the day and night indicator in the local time zone, while a 24-hour scale near its equator serves as a second time zone. The Earth is also made of laser engraved titanium, with hollowed oceans and raised continents.
The Cosmos case, made from bead blasted titanium, is 47mm in diameter. Its sapphire crystal serves as a glassbox, a curved piece of glass acting like an astronomical telescope. While the case appears large, it is actually 12.15 mm thick. The middle case is smooth and crown-free, so all adjustments (winding, time-setting, adjustment of the heavenly globe and that of the terrestrial globe) are performed via four tiny adjustment keys on the back of the case.
Girard-Perregaux Cosmos is powered by the manual-winding Calibre GP09320, which beats at 21,600 vph and has a power reserve of 60 hours. The rate is regulated by a tourbillon, which rotates in its black PVD titanium bridge arched over the escapement. The watch is water resistant to 30 meters and presented on a blue leather strap.
Girard-Perregaux Cosmos, reference 99292-21-651-BA6F, is available in 18-piece limited edition. The price is 295'000 CHF. For more information, please visit girard-perregaux.com.

Latest News from Girard-Perregaux
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute Rock
Earlier this year, in January 2019, on the occasion of the SIHH exhibition, Girard-Perregaux introduced a new concept watch – the Laureato Absolute Rock. Laureato Absolute Rock is the ultimate sporty watch with a Carbon Glass that lies in its core. The innovation guarantees a full water resistance and an extreme compression of the materials during an injection procedure at high temperature. What makes each of the 100 limited edition watches irreplaceable is the integration of blue fibers associated with those of carbon. In other words, each of...
Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Moon Watch
The house of Girard-Perregaux adds to the 1966 collection, which pays tribute to some of the Maison’s most popular creations from the 1960s. The new member of the 1966 watch family is Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Moon, a contemporary take on a sporty-elegant classic. Aptly named Blue Moon, the watch features a gradient blue dial, lighter in the center and darker towards the outer edges. The blue backdrop of the dial, reminiscent of a nocturnal sky, provides a nice backdrop for contrasting baton-style hour markers and leaf-shaped hands. A single r...
Girard Perregaux Laureato Absolute Chronograph for Only Watch 2019
The house of Girard Perregaux will once again be participating in the Only Watch auction. Placed under the high patronage of H.S.H. The Prince of Monaco, the 8th edition of the famous watch event will traditionally benefit research on a rare degenerative disorder Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The Swiss watchmaker has created a handsome one of a kind model, a contemporary interpretation of the famous Laureato watch. The Laureato Absolute Chronograph for Only Watch 2019 arrives in a polished and satin-brushed black PVD-coated titanium case. The...
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Tourbillon 43mm
Girard-Perregaux introduces the new Laureato tourbillon, whose design is strongly influenced by the original icon from 1975. The famous Laureato made a majestic comeback in 2016, as a part of Girard-Perregaux’ 225th Anniversary Collection. Initially available only as a limited edition, Laureato was reborn as a complete watch family in 2017. The latest piece joining the prestigious range is the Laureato Tourbillon 43mm – a new size for the already existing model. The sporty elegant Laureato Tourbillon was previously available in four different...
Girard-Perregaux Classic Bridges Pink Gold - SIHH 2018
For the 2018 edition of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) Girard-Perregaux unveiled two new Classic Bridges models crafted from pink gold. The new Classic Bridges watches are available in either a 45mm version, tailored for sturdier wrists, or a more discretely proportioned 40mm iteration. In both cases, the new Classic Bridges provide a breathtaking interpretation of Girard-Perregaux’s iconic gold bridges. The new Classic Bridges models feature two beveled, rounded, mirror-polished and satin-brushed gold arrow-shaped bri...
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton Ceramic
The house of Girard-Perregaux has just released a new version of its emblematic casual-chic Laureato Skeleton watch. This time, the iconic model arrives in a stunning, all-black, ceramic version, while managing to retain the airy side of its nature. The beautiful Laureato, which is instantly recognizable for its polished octagonal bezel fitted on an integrated case, is crafted from the solid block of titanium. The choice of this unique material further reinforces its ergonomic qualities. It is lightweight, scratchproof, extremely hard, and very...
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Black Ceramic 42 mm
For the first time ever, Girard-Perregaux introduces its iconic Laureato model entirely clad in black ceramic. Earlier this year, the famous Swiss watchmaker introduced a completely new Laureato watch family, the fourth evolution of the 1975 created collection "Laureato." The new addition to the contemporary Laureato range is a casual chic and highly wearable watch, distinguished by its strong presence, and bold, dark design. Laureato Black Ceramic 42 mm underpins some of the signature design codes of the classic Laureato. The watch features...
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton
The latest addition to the Laureato family is the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton, an openworked timepiece fitted with a skeletonized high-end mechanical movement Calibre GP01800-0006. Interestingly enough, the original Laureato, launched in 1975, was designed to go hand in hand with Girard-Perregaux’s new quartz movement. Who could have guessed that the version released more than 40 years later would be equipped with a high-end automatic movement! The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton is a handsome new watch with a metal bracelet and a...
Girard-Perregaux Constant Escapement L.M.
In 2008, the house of Girard-Perregaux introduced the Constant Escapement, a major watchmaking breakthrough with a frame integrating a silicon blade thinner than a human hair. Providing constant amplitude and constant rate, the new constant-force escapement revolutionized the foundations of chronometry by ensuring that the watch will beat at a constant rate no matter how much power remains in the barrels. At this year’s BaselWorld watch and jewelry show, exactly ten years since the launch of the first Constant Escapement, that won the presti...
Girard-Perregaux 1966 WW.TC | SIHH 2017
On the occasion of the SIHH 2017 exhibition, the legendary 1966 collection by Girard-Perregaux welcomes its first ww.tc model. The World Wide Time Control, or "WW.TC," stands for the world timer complication, which allows the wearer to read off time in an area of the world other than home. The world time watch is similar to the GMT or dual timezone, but with one significant advantage: while GMT watch can display time at one additional selected time zone, the world timer shows the exact time for all 24 time zones at once. This practical function...
