The Girard‑Perregaux Gyromatic 39‑Jewel “Firestone” is a classic mid-20th-century Swiss automatic dress watch that showcases Girard-Perregaux’s pioneering Gyromatic self-winding movement. The 39-jewel automatic mechanism was part of GP’s effort in the late 1950s and 1960s to create efficient, reliable, and slim automatic calibers—a hallmark of the brand’s innovation in mechanical watchmaking. Gyromatic movements were admired for their smooth bi-directional winding and robust performance, with many examples from this era prized by collectors today for their understated elegance and historical significance.

  • The History:

Girard-Perregaux traces its beginning to 1791, when watchmaker and
goldsmith Jean-François Bautte signed his first watches, creating a
manufacturer in Geneva to handle all facets of watchmaking, from the engineering to the hand assembly and polishing of each timepiece.  In 1852, Constant Girard founded Girard & Cie, and upon marrying Marie Perregaux in 1856, they founded Girard-Perregaux Manufacture.  When Girard’s son took over control in 1906, he took control of the company and acquired Bautte House from the heirs of Jean-François Bautte.  The company has manufactured its own movements and handles every step of production from engineering and design to polishing, assembly, and final encasement of each timepiece.

  • The Watch:

The Girard-Perregaux Gyromatic 39-Jewel “Firestone” features a 34mm stainless steel case with a domed acrylic crystal.  The
champagne-colored dial features a sunburst pattern, applied indices, and the Firestone logo near the 6 o’clock position.  The Girard-Perregaux Gyromatic is powered by the self-winding 39-jewel Caliber 31.09 movement.

  • The Details:

This timepiece includes an aftermarket black leather strap with a stainless steel buckle.
