In keeping with the theme of classical and traditional running through the watch industry, Girard-Perregaux is introducing two new watches –a new 1966 and a new version of the Cat’s Eye.

Girard-Perregaux 1966 Small Second
Continuing the legacy of Girard-Perregaux’s clean, refined style, the latest creation in the Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection is the 1966 Small Second, with a pure, simple, elegant design.
The new Girard-Perregaux 1966 Small Second features a 40 mm round case and is inspired by Girard-Perregaux’s 19th century pocket watches, right down to the grand feu enamel dial. The dial has painted Arabic numerals and blued steel leaf-shaped hour and minute hands, with a small second counter at six o’clock. Powering the 1966 Small Second is the Girard-Perregaux calibre 3300-50, and this timepiece is available in white or pink gold.

Cat’s Eye Small Second
Since its introduction in 2004, the Cat’s Eye collection has combined feminine curves with precious mechanisms. For SIHH 2011, Girard-Perregaux introduces a new version featuring a small second on a mother-of-pearl dial. The gold oval case, available in pink or white gold and set with 62 diamonds, houses the GP3300-0044 automatic movement, which is covered by a dial in white or black mother-of-pearl. The date is displayed in a window at three o’clock, while the small second is situated at nine o’clock and is enhanced by a radiating ray motif delicately traced on the dial. Each of the hour indexes is a precious, set stone, with numerals sculpted in gold cut wire and hand-polished before being riveted to the dial.

Girard-Perregaux’s new creations help customers value each “small second”.
