**Charles Girardier** is a Swiss watch brand.

The brand was founded in [[2018]] by Geneva-born Patrick A. Ulm and is located in [[Geneva]]. It derives its name from Charles Girardier L'Aîné (the Elder), who was awarded the certification and honours of Master Watchmaker in [[1809]].

Patrick Ulm decided to create timepieces inspired by the story of this 18th century Geneva watchmaker whose values were playful mechanical animation and the sublimation of this through crafts such as [[grand feu enamel]] dials with "paillons".

At the [[GPHG]] [[2020]] Charles Girardier won a prize in the Ladies' Complication category with the model [[Charles Girardier Tourbillon Signature Mystérieuse ‘Fleur de Sel’|Tourbillon Signature Mystérieuse ‘Fleur de Sel’]] (in the collection 1809).
