Bobbe shares the restoration of his grandfather's 1960s Girard Perregaux with a Peseux movement. Discover its sentimental value and vintage charm.

When my mother moved a few years ago she found this watch and gave it to me. It belonged tot my late grandfather, after which I was named. It's a sixties 34 mm GP with a Peseux movement. I had it serviced and it's running smooth now, gaining a few seconds a day. Not bad! New croco, and ready to go.

Love the plexi

when I was a part-time watch repairman, a “revival” was my favorite job

There’s great satisfaction in bringing something back from neglect or disuse into functioning order. Congratulations on the choice to fix your grandfather’s watch. Cheers, Cazalea
