Milano Watch Week 2026: An Insider’s Verdict on Europe’s Rising Watch Event
Girard-Perregaux La Esmeralda Tourbillon
Girard-Perregaux presents La Esmeralda Tourbillon in white gold. This timepiece is directly inspired by the famous pocket watch created by Constant Girard, which won a gold medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1889. The symmetrical and ingenious architecture of the movement becomes the face of the watch. The movement is equipped with a platinum micro-rotor fitted beneath the barrel. Each of its 310 components is polished and hand-engraving in keeping with the finest traditions. The design of the famous three gold bridges is inspired by those of the 1889 Esmeralda. Five different types of finishes are skilfully hand-crafted.
