Ergonomically Designed for Comfort


The "Vintage 1945" collection, revived in 1995 as a tribute to Art Deco, welcomes a new model this year. The new "Vintage 1945 XXL Chronograph" reawakens the artistic heritage of the early 20th century that Girard-Perregaux has consistently upheld.


At its heart beats the Caliber GP03300-0064, an in-house automatic movement. The case, designed with gentle curves and geometric Art Deco motifs, is available in pink gold or stainless steel. Its pronounced silhouette is ergonomically shaped for a comfortable fit.


The dial features two chronograph counters, accented by blued steel hands, facing each other to create a striking balance. Applied Arabic numerals lend an air of elegance reminiscent of classic watches.


Through the sapphire case back, one can admire the intricate mechanism, designed, manufactured, and assembled in Girard-Perregaux's Swiss workshops. The hand-finished gold oscillating weight moves gracefully, offering a captivating spectacle.


The "Vintage 1945 XXL Chronograph" pays homage to Art Deco while exuding a modern aura. A single glance reveals the exquisite design, elegance, and technical details that only a Maison with over 200 years of history can achieve.
