SIGNATURE MYSTÉRIEUSE®, FLYING TOURBILLON
Immerse yourself in the exclusive world of Charles Girardier with our iconic CG SM-1809 37 model, revealing the fascination of the “Signature Mystérieuse®”. This monogram, a fusion of “C&G”, dances mysteriously with the wearer’s movements, offering an infinite touch of elegance.
The Signature Mystérieuse® evokes the incomparable talent in mechanical art of the House of Charles Girardier. It’s much more than just a monogram: it’s a tribute to the legacy of Charles Girardier dit “Girardier L’ainé”, the Master Watchmaker, bringing to life animated scenes of breathtaking beauty.
Equipped with a flying tourbillon and this exquisite mechanical complication, these watches embody the very essence of watchmaking craftsmanship. Their Gran Feu enamel, delicately hand-applied and precisely fired at 800°C, bestows an aura of sophistication and perfection upon these exceptional timepieces.
The enamelled dial, adorned with arabesques, discreetly enriches itself with delicate gold or silver paillons in the shape of a flower called“Fleur de sel”, adding a touch of refinement.
The “Ice Blue’ version won the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie 2020 in the “Ladies’ Complication Watch” category.
This model is available in three versions: “Ice Blue,” featuring a glazed icy blue enamelled dial sprinkled with silver paillons and a white-gold case, “Green Grey,” with a sophisticated “Green Grey” enamelled dial sprinkled with silver paillons and a rose-gold case, and finally, “Dark Red,” in a deep red hue with gold paillons and a yellow-gold case.
These models are equipped with our exclusive CG SM-1809 caliber, the signature of Charles Girardier watchmaking excellence.

COMPLICATIONS
At 6 o’clock, a flying tourbillon enhanced by a tourbillon cage. The tourbillon completes one revolution per minute.
At 12 o’clock, the Signature Mystérieuse® – an automaton – showcases the Charles Girardier logo with the intertwined “C&G” on two elements pivoting on an axis. The energy required for this ballet is provided by a dedicated oscillating weight for this complication, concealed beneath the dial. With each movement of the wrist, kinetic energy will move the two elements in opposite directions, ultimately returning to the initial position when the wrist is tilted for time reading.

OUR KNOW-HOW
The Grand Feu champlevé enameling method involves depositing enamel into cavities that have been meticulously carved into the dial plate. While this process can be mechanical for simple patterns, it becomes a highly intricate, manual craft for unique pieces. The enameller carefully fills the hand-engraved spaces, adding a rich palette of shades and colours.
