I finally got one of my grail watches....The GP Three Bridges

Jul 16, 2017,23:01 PM
 

Howdy folks.

The Three Bridges is one of those watches that is often feature on the top 10 grail list of many watch collectors and Purists, but for some reason, one always (myself in this case) defers the purchase of the Three Bridges, often for reason unknown, or its always put on the back burner while something "more collectable" from say example the venerated house of Patek Philippe or the perennial favourite A. Lange & Sohne. The Three Brdiges has been on my grail list for a decade, and this year, i say enough is enough, time to get one; which is what i did 3 months ago. More to come.......
 


Paired effortlessly with the century old Cartier Trinity series of cufflinks and ring for corporate life.



Paired here seamlessly with accessories from  seasonal Gucci Kingsnake GG wallet and Bulgari white ceramic BZero One ring, for leisurely pursuits.

this is truly a grail watch as you mentioned. To me the classic case that you got is the most timeless. Very happy for you. CC

I like the older version with more screws on the bridge....

 
 By: Hororgasm : July 17th, 2017-06:12
versus the single big screw on the ends of the bridges. the new bridge is slightly convex, so has a greater demonstration of finishing though. Best, Horo

thank you!! its a legacy grail and dream that is finally fulfilled

i am back into Gucci this year, and a big fan of Alessandro Michele, the new chief Gucci designer. unlike some of the major brand's chief designer, he started his career with accessories design, thus his obsession with little details, graphical and metaph... 

Impressive. It seems alive. Really nice

love that one! I did some window shopping and always wanted to bring one home... but... I always been sway away somehow. Shame on me.

Just one day......

 
 By: Hororgasm : July 29th, 2017-03:07
...the whisper will become a shout..... That's when you will go home with one😜 Best Horo

Many congratulations.

 
 By: Freccero : July 17th, 2017-00:29
The three bridges together with the Laureato are the most representative features of GP. I agree with you that sometimes one likes this watch a lot but instead of buying it he goes for something more conventional (as you said PP and Lange). Congratulation... 

Congratulations!

Although you've already had many of my grail watches, this one still stands out in many ways.

 By: Watchonthewrists : July 17th, 2017-05:01
Like you said there are watches you just want to have but allways find a excuse not to buy . But true love won,t die

Gorgeous piece, Horo!

 
 By: jporos : July 17th, 2017-06:46
The Three Bridges is one of those truly historic, iconic pieces but somehow overlooked. Glad to see that you got yours.

Indeed overlooked

 
 By: Hororgasm : July 18th, 2017-14:44
Many times I hear collectors say "the 3 Bridges has got to be the next one" only for them to buy something else. Your truly was similarly guitly.😊 Best, Horo

Wonderful.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : July 17th, 2017-06:47
And you did, indeed, pick the best version. Enjoy! (Like you possibly couldn't!)

much appreciated :)

best, Horo

Congratulations, amazing watch.

 
 By: VMM : July 17th, 2017-06:48
Love the movement. Continuos pleasure and joy for the eye. Usually, with regular watches I have to check twice or three times to actually know what time is it, I guess with that beauty on the wrist things are even harder. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy it. Vte... 

Huge congrats on this major catch !

 
 By: Mike H : July 17th, 2017-08:12
I had the opportunity to shoot it at Baselworld and was really impressed by this icon, a wonderful watch ! Enjoy it and wear it in the best of health 😳 Best, Mike

Grail watch and superb photos as well.

Glad to see you made you dream come true!

Best, Horo

You did well Horo!

 
 By: BABKA : July 17th, 2017-21:21
I've always loved this piece and you are correct in that people place it on the back burner. Congrats and ENJOY!

Thanks buddy!!

 
 By: Hororgasm : July 18th, 2017-00:57
Back burner indeed...... Me for almost a decade! Best, horo

10 years is a long time to wait!

 
 By: BABKA : July 21st, 2017-13:09
But it was well-achieved I bet!

we chinese have a saying : 10 years is trifle in a gentleman's revenge :)-

Very neat proverb.

Chinese culture is pure genius.

Nice grail!

Would that be Whisk Café by any chance; nice cakes they serve there!

Indeed it is!

 
 By: Hororgasm : July 19th, 2017-09:52
At the heart of historic Tiong Bahru, which sadly is too gentrified. These days more Lavender area, but Whisk has a great carrot cake. Sharp eyes Best, Horo

True that, not only to Tiong Bahru but the whole of Singapore..

 
 By: STiYaKuzA : July 19th, 2017-10:04
At this rate only Pulau Ubin would be left! Speaking of Lavender, I had the best ondeh ondeh cake I tried at AEIOU, as well as an interesting avocado coffee.. Do give it a shot if you haven't! Masayuki

Possibly my favourite tourbillon! :-)

Many congratulations on acquiring this very special piece. I too agree with you that I prefer the older model from the 90s which I believe was a little smaller too but yours is a sight to behold!! Is yours the 41mm version?
