We recently gave you an inside look at The Girard-Perregaux Young Watchmakers Tour in honor of the brand’s new print and online journal: The New Face of Tradition, Eight Young Watchmakers and the Art of Making Time.

While in NYC, Haute Time curator Seth Semilof got a one-on-one workshop with young watchmaker Jean-Luc Borel. In this video, Borel shows us the preparation, patience and precision it takes to work on a Girard-Perregaux.
