Historically, this is also a significant watch, demonstrating that even before the founding of Girard Perregaux, this watchmaker was producing pocket watches of chronometer quality. The Swiss watchmaker Constantin Othenin Girard founded the firm Girard & Cie in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1852. In 1856, he married Marie Perregaux, the sister of the chronometer maker Henri Perregaux, and in the same year, together with his brother-in-law, founded the world-famous Girard-Perregaux manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds, which emerged from the firm Girard & Cie.
