This comprehensive guide is an invaluable resource for both watch collectors and dealers alike. Written by a long time Jaeger-LeCoultre enthusiast, the breadth of technical information in this authoritative volume is the only work of its kind.

During the past 150 years, Eterna has developed many technical highlights, including the first alarm wristwatch, the ball-borne self-winding mechanism, the first chronographs, and the slimmest quartz watch (0.98 mm). For the first time ever, this volume chronicles and illuminates the background of the evolution from Eterna to Eta and from there to manufacturer status.

George Daniels, A Master Watchmaker & His Art


UOM Price EACH £79.95 by Francois Chaille


Wristwatches are the ultimate collector’s item and this handsome volume chronicles the history of a Swiss watch manufacturer that is an industry standard setter. Arriving at the crossroads of design and technology, Girard-Perregaux has created timepieces of superior quality and timeless elegance since 1791. The company designed the first wristwatch to replace the pocketwatch, set the quartz standard, built the timepieces used to record the first Zepplin flights and Formula 1 car races, and designed a watch exclusively available to Ferrari owners. Few watchmakers can boast as fine a collection; in an unceasing quest for innovation and improvement,


Girard-Perregaux has raised the mechanical movement of their watches to a degree of perfection. Amazing design intricacies and luxurious “complications,” such as the tourbillon mechanism covered by three gold bridges, unfold in the close-up photographs of this book which includes a series of vellum overlays that show the inner workings of the watches. This stunning volume is created in the spirit of the great watchmaker, reflecting the great attention to detail and impeccable style for which the name Girard-Perregaux has become synonymous.
