Tri-Axial Planetarium



The majestic high-speed Tri-Axial tourbillon by Girard-Perregaux welcomes two captivating, delicately miniature-painted complications: a rotating globe with day/night indication and a precision moon-phase display. The watches in this Fine Watchmaking bear the technical and aesthetic signature of the Swiss Manufacture. A complex structure revealed by an iconic and luminous design.



Girard-Perregaux has been defying gravity for 150 years and once again demonstrates its mastery of high-precision movements. The three-dimensional Planetarium watch combines a Tri-Axial tourbillon, a globe performing one full turn in 24 hours and an astronomical moon phase. Cleverly combining technical expertise, iconic design and traditional craftsmanship, it distils the essence of the Girard-Perregaux DNA: arrow-shaped gold bridges, a lyre-shaped tourbillon carriage, sapphire domes and a side opening enabling light to flood into this supserbly refined mechanism.
