Remarks:

  • Girard = Erwin Girard, Moutier. Not Girard-Perregaux!
  • There is also a Girard 24 new, and a Girard with setting lever (Tirette). See extra picture.
    In fact, both have a setting lever instead of pin to set the hands
  • Type 1 and 2 have different bridge shapes
  • E. Girard registered this movement in 1916 in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce as model no. 1. Model no. 1 is not an official caliber designation, but was used to register the design
