The 'rattrapante' function makes possible the measurement of split-second times or timing simultaneous events or of unequal duration. The 'foudroyante' makes possible to measure fractions of seconds. The astute principle comprises a double barrel to power separately the Foudroyante. More than a century later, Girard Perregaux is re-editing a 'Foudroyante-Rattrapante' chronograph, this time in a wristwatch thanks to improvements in the field of miniaturization.Limited and numbered edition of 150 pieces in titanium for worldwide distribution.
