GIRARD-PERREGAUX,
alongside BMW ORACLE Racing
On 5 October 2004 in Valencia (Spain), GIRARD-PERREGAUX announced that the Manufactory had just signed a sponsorship agreement with BMW ORACLE Racing for the 32nd America's Cup.
By teaming up with Larry Ellison, Chris Dickson and their Team, the watch company has become passionately involved in the oldest, and one of the most prestigious, sporting events in the world.
Considering the values GIRARD-PERREGAUX shares with BMW ORACLE Racing, there is nothing really surprising about this partnership:
- a dynamic policy and strategy supported by a strong belief in innovation and long-term vision;
- a firm resolve to invest in R&D, which helps give a product its uniqueness and its instantly recognisable personality;
- a veritable team spirit, born from the fusion of different skills and know-how and resulting in the constant improvement of a product's quality and reliability;
- a readiness to explore new sectors leading to the use of modern materials for innovative and creative purposes;
- a strong desire to participate in a competition in which every technical, strategic and human resource has been invested.
These values form the foundation of this association, a prestigious watch company and an exceptional sporting team united by a common goal: to surpass themselves.
The men and women who work at GIRARD-PERREGAUX have horology in their blood. They come from a region with a long and rich tradition in those qualities befitting a savoir-faire which is much closer to an art form than an industry.
While the BMW ORACLE Racing Team is sailing under the American banner, it actually has an international crew. Comprising 16 different nationalities, it forms an extraordinary cultural mosaic, and it is this rich
alchemy that has engendered such a determined and enthusiastic will to win.
First and foremost, the attainment of excellence is a question of people and, at GIRARD-PERREGAUX and BMW ORACLE Racing, they are creating, innovating, committing themselves and battling to meet this formidable challenge.
