With time, the bridges of this iconic design have evolved from an arrow-ended shape to a more contemporary “Neo” shape, used in the Flying Bridges. The architecture of the movement has also evolved to give the impression of a levitating movement inside the case.

The Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges Bucherer BLUE truly is a masterwork of Haute Horlogerie. The titanium case is fitted between two sapphire crystal glass boxes reinforcing the visual effect of aerial delicacy.

A HISTORICAL WATCH MOVEMENT

Girard-Perregaux revives history with its modern translation of tradition. The Tourbillon with Three Bridges is considered the world’s oldest watch movement still in production, the epitome of Girard-Perregaux virtuosity.

The structure of the watch movement that appears to be suspended within the case has remained unchanged since the 1860s - earning it the name “Flying Bridges”.

BENEFITS THAT LIE BENEATH THE BARREL

The iconic Bridges collection embodies craftsmanship and design, realised as a complex interplay that makes the invisible visible. By paring back the movement, the main plate seems to disappear within the case.

The automatic movement itself features a micro-rotor beneath the barrel, granting the benefits of an improved power reserve of a minimum 60 hours, optimal winding, as well as an unobstructed view of the movement.

FROM TRADITIONAL TO MODERN BRIDGE DESIGN

Girard-Perregaux’s Three Flying Bridges present a modern take on tradition. The design of the Bridges, which started out as an arrow-ended shape, has evolved into a contemporary Neo-shape, inspired by the architectural marvels of the world’s metropoles.
