The Grail: Girard-Perregaux Constant Escapement in white gold 46mm, Ref 93505

The Girard-Perregaux Constant Escapement has been around a few years now, but recently we have seen some fine adjustments with a smaller size in 46mm and my favourite version in white gold with grey dial.


This is my absolute grail, so time to share some close ups:

the mechanism does require some space so it will never be a small watch. I hope for maybe 2mm less then it would be perfect, but even at 46mm with the open dial, it actually works.

Interesting [nt]

Of this machine is very unique. It is somewhat Neo Renaissance.

Thanks Gelato. It is a true technical achievement

that shows what can be done if you think outside the box.

It is stunning CC [nt]

which is very cool and goes well with the techno-look. For me, my heart is with this White Gold version (for now )
