Sunday RewindAnother Girard-Perregaux With A Very Special Spring

Last Sunday, we brought you a look back at two amazing balance springs found in vintage Girard-Perregaux pocket watches. As a follow up, take a look at this in-depth piece by Ben that covers the design, execution, and functionality of Girard-Perregaux's most technical of silicon-based achievements, their Constant Escapement system. 

Originally published (with video!) in the spring of 2013, this is a detailed and inside look at a marvel of micro-engineering and modern watchmaking. With this year's trade show landscape very much in flux, it will be interesting to see if Baselworld 2020 can match years like 2013 with technical announcements like this innovation from Girard-Perregaux.
