Girard-Perregaux introduced the 66 collection of discreet elegance and superb craftsmanship in 2006. The collection is highly well-received and is the brand’s flagship line now. Recently, Girard-Perregaux enriched this line with a new column wheel chronograph-the 1966 chronograph in an elegant case to further enhance the line’s classic spririts.
The 1966 chronograph is a beautiful creature benefiting from the brand’s technical virtuosity and authentic design. As a perfect blend of style, designs and functions, 1966 chronograph can be regarded as a fine example of Girard-Perregaux’s superb watch-making technology.
The 40mm case, done in either rose gold or white gold, presents a sophisticated look with clean lines. The case surface receives meticulous finishing to enhance the beauty of the applied precious material. And the curvature and the lugs are specially modeled to make the watch fit fabulous onto the wrist.
Beating inside the watch is the Girard-Perregaux GP030C0. This automatic movement, composed of 304 components and 38 jewels, is independently developed and made in the house of Girard-Perregaux. It beats at a frequency of 28,800vph and has a power reserve of 36 hours. And it provides hours, minutes, column-wheel chronograph and small seconds, which are all easy-to-read on the dial of perfect balance. You can appreciate the complexity and the high-level finishing of the movement through the display case back.

And there is a the tachometric scale running around the edge of the dial, allowing the wearer to measured the average speed when needed.
