Girard-Perregaux attempts a cosmic connection with its “Earth to Sky” theme. We take a look at the new special‑edition watches in the collection
At this year’s Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie watch fair in January, Girard-Perregaux launched its novelties in an interesting manner, as the brand attempted to organise all of them under a unified theme, which it called “Earth to Sky”. The theme manifested itself most strongly in its impressively technical Cosmos watch, which features three complications: a sky chart indicator, a world time indicator and a tourbillon—but that’s a story for another time, when we can explore the Cosmos’ complications in greater depth.
In addition, the brand also introduced three of its existing watches—the 1966, the Laureato Skeleton and the Neo Bridges—in special “Earth to Sky” editions. All three watches have black cases with dark blue dial elements, supposedly recalling both the darkness of space as well as our blue home planet.
