In the year [[1880]] [[Girard, Constant|Constant Girard]] created a pocket chronograph, which was equipped with two finesses a [[rattrapante]] function and a [[seconde foudroyante]]. With the rattrapante function split times can be measured, and the seconde foudroyante indicates fractions of a second. The ingenious principle is based on a [[double barrel]], which gives [[power reserve]] to the seconde foudroyante. Over a hundred years later [[Girard-Perregaux]] launched a new edition of the [[chronograph]] with [[rattrapante]] and seconde foudroyante as [[wristwatch]] - thanks to advances in miniaturization. The watch from the series // Vintage 1945 // has a [[self-winding]] [[manufacture]] movement and a rectangular, particularly large-sized case in [[white gold]]. **Reference:** * 90210 **Movement: ** * [[Self-winding]] [[manufacture]] movement Girard-Perregaux GP E04C0, 28,800 A/h * [[Rattrapante]] [[chronograph]], [[seconde foudroyante]] * 13 [[ligne]]s * 40 [[jewels]] * Power reserve min. 50 hours **Case:** * 18ct [[white gold]] * Dimensions 37 x 37 mm, H 15.34 mm * [[Sapphire crystal]] with [[anti-glare treatment]] * Screw-in back with [[sapphire crystal]] * [[Waterproof]] to 30 m **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[small seconds]] as [[seconde foudroyante]] **Bracelet: ** * Alligator leather strap with [[folding clasp]] {{tag>Watch_models Girard-Perregaux_models}}
