Review: GP Vintage 1945 Large Date, Moon-Phases, Mechanics of Art Deco

 
By: blomman Mr Blue : November 18th, 2014-03:25
Friends, As you could read in the press release; This is the first time ever that Girard-Perregaux releases a Vintage 1945 with sapphire dial! Reference: 25882-11-223-BB6B I had the pleasure to be able to handle this watch and to see the watchmakers while...  

With the small Le Corbusier Series, this is my favourite!

What a dial! What an opus! I love almost all, in this Watch, and I am seriously considering it. Even the case size, which I most often find too big, is curiously not disturbing me, on this one, at the difference of the Blue sister. The olny little thing i...  

Great piece, indeed great!

but it looks like we'll have to repeat our mantra about colour of love ;) Thank you for another great post Yours D

Color of love is blue!

But I think there is room for smoke colored sapphire as well, my friend! ;) Damn, before this is over we need to build a collection of only Vintage 1945 XXL.... ;) Best Blomman

Dammnnn...I wish again GP will fly high, was planning

Raymond, be careful...

What you wish for! ;) Yes, with this one I think GP reach the sky! :) Thank you, my friend - honestly, I think the Daytona can wait.... Best Blomman

I will see how the Daytona "talks" to me when I get chance.

Usually, I know and can tell, the moment I put a watch on my wrist. As I mentioned in other Rolex forum before, I am too "timid" to go into traditional style modern/vintage Rolex (no offense to Rolex fans, I admire they are very knowledgeable). Simply bec... 

Sounds like a open mind plan....

But may I suggest that you also try the Vintage 1945 sapphire dial on before you take the plunge...? :) Best Blomman

Well, my friend.. An Eagle has landed.. Really love the saphire dial & whole watch !.. :))

.. Only thing, I'm not sure, if I have fully understood correctly: - is this now a modern (!) watch, being a hommage to a Vintage (1945?) ?, vs Or is it a Vintage watch - if so, I wouldn't understand how the Manuf produces or services several of this type... 

A new release, my friend! :)

And yes, the dial is even better in real! :) This one you really should have a closer look, HS! You will bepleasantly surprised! Best Blomman

I love it! But it reminds me something else...

Thank you Blomman for your review. I simply love this timepiece! I'm very, very curious to try it on the wrist. Or maybe I'd better avoid this experience, since I'd definitely fall in love with it??? ;-) That said, I must confess that it reminds me someth...  

Yes I remember, Elio :)

You should have used your design on a Vintage 1945! ;) You should try this one, you will definitely fall in love! Best Blomman

It is a superb watch

When I saw it in Basel, I considered it as their best watch of the year. A perfect combo of classicism and contemporary touch. Thanks for your review. Fx ...  

That dial..!!

It's truly an amazing dial! At the same time very legible and with a fantastic view on the inside of the watch! Most of the times when you have a skeletonized or a sapphire dial the hands tend to get lost among all the other gears, not this time! Maybe it... 

I can't more than agree, Alberto! :)

This dial is just exceptional! :) A perfect balance between transparent and color tone to give the best of the two! Best Blomman
