Girard-Perregaux Surprises With La Esmeralda Tourbillon “A Secret” Eternity Edition

La Esmeralda is an important name in the history of Girard-Perregaux, as it was given to a pocket watch they made for the "World's Fair" of 1889 in Paris. This exquisite timepiece, finely engraved and fitted with a tourbillon and three gold bridges, won the gold medal. Although currently again in the museum collection of Girard-Perregaux, it was initially sold to Porfirio Diaz (1830-1915), then the President of Mexico. As the manufacture is celebrating its 230th anniversary, it felt appropriate to bring back the spirit of this unique pocket watch in a modern-day creation.

However, it took until the revival of watchmaking after the quartz crisis to be used extensively in wristwatches. Now there hardly isn't a brand that doesn't have one in its collection. Standing out can then be a challenge, but at the same time, it also offers the opportunity to innovate and pave the way for the future of this highly regarded complication.

Four Sapphire Sensations That Give New Meaning To Transparency

For decades, sapphire crystal was mainly used to cover the front, and in many cases also the back, of watches. Its high scratch resistance made it the perfect material for that. While not too difficult to process into small discs to protect the dial, crafting an entire watch case and more out of it, it an entirely different ball game. There the advantages that the material offers become a challenge. However, this hasn't stopped a few brands from going for full transparency and create breathtaking sapphire sensations.
