In the 1960s, Girard-Perregaux was one of the very few watchmaking Manufactures to have its own Research & Development team. In 1966, it launched the first High Frequency movement, which would provide exceptional accuracy performance. So much so, that 73% of the chronometer certificates awarded by the Neuchatel Observatory in 1967 were issued to Girard-Perregaux.
The Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection pays tribute to this era, incorporating the fruits of the Manufacture's constant commitment to innovation, with its automatic winding movements in a particularly elegant, extra-thin case.
