The brand continues to pioneer futuristic watchmaking with its latest Quasar.

‍

The new Girard-Perregaux Quasar Azure, encased in sapphire crystal, is the latest version of Girard-Perregaux's cutting-edge wristwatch, which combines the past and the future of high-end watchmaking.

‍

It was introduced in February 2019 as a futuristic interpretation of Girard-Perregaux's Three Bridges movement, which was first introduced in 1867 and was first used in a timepiece. The watch was the product of a collision between history and modernity, with its skeletonized dial and titanium movement housing.

‍

In a move that went far beyond what the Quasar had to offer, Girard-Perregaux debuted the Quasar Light earlier this year, a sapphire crystal-cased watch with three architecturally-inspired bridges (the "Neo Bridges") constructed of sapphire crystal as well.

A new timepiece from Quasar is continuing the brand's quest for transparency; it has a blue-hued case that is machined out of a single sapphire disc, making this timepiece a real feat of craftsmanship, requiring more than 200 hours of machining, coloring, milling and polishing.

‍

The skeletonized manufacture movement, Calibre GP09400-1035, features a tourbillon in a lyre-shaped cage, which is a historical design dating back to the 19th century. With the exception of the blue model, which is made of Grade 5 titanium, the bridges of the blue model have been hand finished using traditional techniques, and the cage itself is powered by an automatic winding system featuring a micro-rotor made of white gold.

‍

In a statement, CEO Patrick Pruniaux said, “This model is a testament to our mastery of haute horlogerie and is rooted in our design language; however, in this instance, it is presented through the lens of cutting-edge technology.” This watch embodies Girard-Perregaux’s unique blend of technical expertise, contemporary design, and rich heritage. It is an eponym for Girard-Perregaux, a company known for its technical mastery, contemporary design, and rich heritage.

Featuring blue-tinged dauphine-style hands for the hours and minutes, as well as blue stitching on the strap, the watch is available in a limited edition of eight pieces at a retail price of $274,000; each piece will be sold individually.

Girard-Perregaux has always been a brand that pushes the boundaries of watchmaking. Their latest release, the Icy Blue Sapphire Crystal Quasar Update, is no exception. This stunning timepiece features a unique sapphire crystal that allows the wearer to see the inner workings of the watch. It's a true testament to the brand's dedication to innovation and precision.

The blue is also symbolic of the sky and space, adding to the overall theme of the watch. The attention to detail in the design is impressive, with a focus on functionality and aesthetics.

‍

As with all Girard-Perregaux watches, the Icy Blue Sapphire Crystal Quasar Update is built to last. It's made with the finest materials and crafted by skilled artisans. The watch is powered by a GP09400-1035 movement, which has been developed in-house by the brand. It boasts a power reserve of 60 hours and a frequency of 3 Hz.
