Gold Kolor

Few watchmaking houses have tourbillons of this pedigree and legitimacy, with Girard-Perregaux having a rich heritage with this complication since the 19th century. This year, the three distinctive bridges make their way into the Art Deco-inspired 1945 Vintage case in an unusual skeletal design.

With the sapphire caseback, the entire movement takes on a transparent quality. Note that the bridge configuration of this watch means that the barrel, gear train and escapement are all arranged along the same axis.

This is both technically significant – and has been since the design premiered in 1860 – and aesthetically inimitable. It takes seven days of work per watch to achieve the finish on the bridges. It is only available in pink gold.
