In 1884, Constant Girard patented his first ‘three bridge movement’. They went on to produce their iconic tourbillons with three bridges. This design continues until today.

Highly appealing aesthetically, the three golden bridges movement appears beautifully simple, yet it masks the remarkable mechanical complexity of its design. It is this classic design that has arguably made it the most visibly recognisable movement layout.
