The ability to reveal the art in precision engineering is among Girard-Perregaux\u2019s greatest achievements. The Quasar Light honours Girard-Perregaux\u2019s legacy by engineering transparency to the extreme. Named after the most brilliant of astronomical entities – the Quasar \u2013 it is an epic masterpiece with gleaming aerial views of the Manufacture\u2019s most iconic movement encased in Swiss-made Sapphire, exclusively available in just 18 pieces.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

A Brilliant Star<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Like its namesake, the Quasar Light outshines all others in its class. The glittering tourbillion appears to float inside an invisible case made from a single sapphire disk. Sculpting and polishing its curves to produce such extreme transparency required over 200 hours of work and hundreds of operations with techniques perfected over two centuries.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Viewing its sensational aerial volumes feels as if stargazing through a telescope. The sapphire crystal box that extends from the case delivers this intergalactic 360\u00b0 view. Achieving the perfect gloss within the movement required three times more sapphire than standard with a unique diamond and chemical polish.<\/p>\n

The watch glitters with starry lustre when light radiates across its movement and Ruthenium barrel. Selected for its diamond-like brilliance, Ruthenium is a rare platinum metal in extremely limited production. It forms dazzling crystals that burst with sparkling light in all directions on the watch face.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The arrow shape of the Aerial Neo-bridges, a Girard-Perregaux signature, were inspired by architectural marvels in the world\u2019s greatest cities. Finished yet again in Swiss-made sapphire, the bridges reveal the smallest details of the mechanism with a light, but powerful presence on the wrist.<\/p>\n

The tourbillon cage is powered by a unidirectional automatic winding system featuring a micro-rotor made of white gold. Visible through the sapphire crystal box, the micro-rotor is engraved with an eagle \u2013 an instantly recognisable hallmark of the Swiss Manufacture.<\/p>\n

The Quasar Light is a brilliantly bold expression of the technical mastery, contemporary design and rich heritage that exemplifies Girard-Perregaux. The 18 exclusive pieces are now luminous stars at the centre of an entirely new galaxy of watchmaking excellence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
