The Girard Perregaux 32.09 watch movement, introduced in 1967, features a ball-bearing rotor and an alarm mechanism consisting of a hammer on a sounding spring. This movement offers an automatic/manual-wind alarm function, allowing for the alarm to be set either by manually winding it or by relying on the automatic winding mechanism. The watch itself does not have a manual wind function, relying solely on the automatic winding system. The alarm, on the other hand, requires manual winding. Other notable features of the Girard Perregaux 32.09 movement include shock protection, a sweep second hand, and a quickset date function activated by a button positioned at the 2 o'clock position.
