The mysterious signature of the first chapter of the Maison Charles Girardier in the 21st century was created in order to revive the legacy of Charles Girardier “said the Elder”, whose eponymous House had disappeared at his death in 1839. The Tourbillon Signature Mystérieuse (registered trademark) for men and women embodies the first chapter of a Geneva watchmaking House that had fallen asleep in the 19th century.

FUNCTIONS
Hours, Minutes, Tourbillon Automaton with rotating discs with CG mysterious signature
The dial in grand feu enamel features a double complication:
– at 6 o’clock, a flying tourbillon enhanced by a set tourbillon cage. The tourbillon makes one revolution per minute.
– at 12 o’clock, the mysterious signature - an automaton - features the Charles Girardier logo with an interlaced C and G on two elements pivoting on an axis. The energy required for this ballet is provided by an oscillating weight dedicated to this complication and hidden under the dial. With each movement of the wrist the kinetic energy will make the two mobiles move in opposite directions and finally return to the initial position when the wrist is tilted for the reading of the time. This automaton is a playful and poetic interpretation that can be personalized to the client’s taste with the gem setting, its color and the initials of the customer.
