Friends,
Today I tried the Girard-Perregaux Smartphone Macro Lens.
Even if my Smart Phone doesn’t have a great camera inside, I think the Macro Lens works very well!
The Smartphone Macro Lens kit and the object of play, the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Enamel dial:
The kit includes a lens holder, two macro lenses and a storage bag:
Trying the big lens, focus on “Girard”: the milky Enamel surface comes to life!
Another nice detail, the red “60”:
Now the small lens, focus on the “Breguet” numbers:
And here showing the micro scratches from wearing the watch (a lot):
All photos taken with my Smartphone, but cropped in the computer.
Have a fun Sunday!

This message has been edited by blomman on 2016-03-06 03:46:24The Girard Perregaux 1966 reference, issued in 2014, represents a specific iteration within the brand's 1966 collection, known for its classic design language. This particular model features a friendly complication, distinguishing it from simpler time-only variants within the same series. The 1966 line generally emphasizes traditional watchmaking aesthetics and proportions, appealing to those who appreciate understated horology.
The watch is housed in a case characteristic of the 1966 series. It typically features a sapphire crystal, offering clarity and scratch resistance. The movement powering this reference is an automatic caliber, consistent with Girard Perregaux's in-house manufacturing capabilities, providing a reliable power reserve suitable for daily wear.
For collectors, this reference offers a less commonly seen variant of the 1966 collection. Its appeal lies in its adherence to classical design principles and the inclusion of a practical complication. While specific dial and hand configurations can be subjects of discussion among enthusiasts, the overall presentation aligns with the brand's heritage in precision watchmaking.
I got a similar set from Tissot.
and that red 60 arghh that red 60 Amazing shots...I can't tell on my tablet that your smartphone have inferior camera Cheers
Can you confirm if the letters and numerals are all handwritten on the dial or are they printed? Thanks and HAGWE! fernando
.. there are several kits for the latter, mine being for iPhone.. BTW: the 1966 Enamel is always worth a look or two more !.. Best & thx for sharing, hs
the details on the dial came out very well. CC
Guess these are not made in-house...! Best Blomman
