Royal Albert Hall Agrees Partnership With Girard-Perregaux

The Royal Albert Hall has confirmed Swiss timepiece manufacturer Girard-Perregaux as its official time-keeping partner. The Hall will display one of Gerard-Perregaux’s creations on the Grand Tier level and they will have a presence on the Royal Albert Hall official website. The Hall enjoyed its most successful year in 2010, with a record-breaking 381 events in the main auditorium and a further 150 in its other spaces.

Michelle Aland, Head of Sponsorship and Corporate Partnerships at the Royal Albert Hall said: “We are delighted to announce our affiliation with the prestigious high-end watchmaking brand that is Girard-Perregaux. The Royal Albert Hall has long been a unique bastion of excellence which fosters innovation whilst respecting history, qualities also embodied by Girard-Perregaux. In this regard it is clear that the two are a perfect fit and we anticipate a successful and strong partnership.”

Isabelle Moine, Brand Manager of Girard-Perregaux UK said: “The new partnership with the Royal Albert Hall brings together the affinities of haute horlogerie and art. Girard Perregaux has come together with the Royal Albert Hall in what is a landmark year for both brands. 2011 is the 140th anniversary of the RAH and also the 220th anniversary of GP.”
