His latest timepiece, the Loiseau 1f4, is the most complicated automatic watch in the industry with eight patents in its movement. A restorer of collectors’ timepieces, artisan and teacher at the International Museum of Watchmaking in La Chaux-de-Fonds, where the Girard-Perregaux manufacture is located, Loiseau is no stranger to the brand’s historical heritage and innovations.
