MINUTE REPEATER TOURBILLON WITH BRIDGES The mechanical structure of this Minute Repeater Tourbillon with Bridges offers an original opportunity to simultaneously observe on the dial side both the components of the striking-mechanism and the hammers that produce its sound by striking the wires of the gongs. In a major innovation, this positioning of the components facilitates optimum sound transmission when the watch is on the wearer’s wrist.

It is the highly unusual structure of the striking-mechanism, together with the adoption of a number of subtle technical solutions for this complication that has allowed the Minute Repeater Tourbillon with Bridges to perform so exceptionally well. Thus, in order to enhance the transmission of the sound wave between the heels of the two gongs, the link between the main plate and the case-band has been stiffened.

A MECHANICAL STRUCTURE INSPIRED BY THE GIRARD-PERREGAUX TRADITION To house this exceptional mechanism, Girard-Perregaux has chosen a round case with a domed case-band prolonged by the slender lugs that are characteristic of models in the Haute Horlogerie collections. Its gently inclined bezel allows for a wide opening out over the movement and facilitates the captivating spectacle of the minute repeater mechanism, of the hammers, gongs and tourbillon.
