Author blomman Mr Blue shares heartwarming photographs illustrating the early introduction of his young son to the world of Girard-Perregaux watches. This charming post explores the ideal age for the next generation to begin appreciating fine timepieces, focusing on developing a gentle yet firm handling technique and an eye for detail.
Friends,
When is the right time to let the next generation start to handle Girard-Perregaux watches?
I would say at the age of two years and three months!
Because by then they know the loupe…
How to wind the watch…
But most importantly, how to hold a watch…
Gentle, but still with a firm grip!
Here is a link to a post from many years ago on the same topic:
I see a PuristS future in him!

how lightning fast they grow I see same firm grip as in his father hands Yours D
It would be surprising, if there was no future Purist in him I need to make a second attempt with mine. Got a vintage NOS Fortis Mini-Flipper for her, which she enjoyed but it was too early to her to wear a watch. Soon, though... Very, very cool post
.. your collection for the next generation. In fact , it reminds me on a bon-mot of a famous Rolls Rolls mechanics for a friend of mine: " You never own these treasures & pieces, you\' re just a temporary caretaker ! " Best, my friend - very cute, moving shot ! hs.
Definitely an expert in the making.
Lucky you to have the next generation already lined up to carry the (GP) torch.
Very cute Blomman. Best wishes Alkiro
