Under the soft glow of the Mediterranean sunset, Girard-Perregaux, the prestigious Swiss watchmaker, hosted an intimate and enlightening evening at Giuseppi’s Restaurant in Salina. The event brought together fine-watch enthusiasts for a captivating masterclass and dinner by the sea, celebrating the artistry and heritage of one of Switzerland’s oldest watchmaking Maisons.
The evening was led by Lisa Parolini, Girard-Perregaux Brand Representative, who guided guests through a fascinating watchmaking masterclass. Parolini delved into the intricate world of Girard-Perregaux’s most iconic collections, including the Laureato, the Bridges, and the Maison’s remarkable enamel craftsmanship.
Guests discovered the stories and savoir-faire behind the celebrated Laureato collection — a modern symbol of elegance and performance — and explored the technical brilliance of the Flying Bridges, an emblem of Girard-Perregaux’s pioneering spirit. Parolini also unveiled the meticulous grand feu enamel technique used for the Laureato Special Edition timepieces, a process that demands both precision and patience, transforming each watch into a work of art.
Following the masterclass, guests enjoyed a refined dinner overlooking the tranquil Salina Bay, where the atmosphere was as timeless as the timepieces themselves. Surrounded by the sound of the sea and warm candlelight, attendees celebrated craftsmanship, conversation, and the enduring beauty of Swiss horology.
The event was a true reflection of Girard-Perregaux’s philosophy — uniting innovation, artistry, and emotion — and a tribute to the Maison’s continuous pursuit of excellence.
