Constant Girard : ウィキペディア英語版 | Constant Girard Constant Girard (La Chaux-de-Fonds 1825 – 1903 La Chaux-de-Fonds) was a Swiss watchmaker from the 19th century, who marked his time by his developments in the escapement systems, in particular that of the tourbillon. His most famous watch, the Tourbillon with three gold bridges, is still fabricated today in modern versions by the Swiss watch manufacturer, Girard-Perregaux. == His life == Constant Girard began his career apprenticed to the watchmaker of La Sagne, in the mountains of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. In 1845, he joined forces with watchmaker C. Robert. Around 1852, he practiced his profession under the name of “Girard & Cie,” at the side of his older brother Numa.〔François Chaille, Girard-Perregaux, p. 78, 83-92, 96〕 In 1854, he married Marie Perregaux (1831-1912), who came from a family of watchmakers, and the two founded in 1856 the watch manufacturing company in La Chaux-de-Fonds that still carries their combined family names: Girard-Perregaux, which is still in existence today. His business developed rapidly, all the way to America and Japan. Constant Girard-Perregaux was equally active in the social, political, and economic life of La Chaux-de-Fonds. He died in 1903.
