Amanico reviews Girard Perregaux's 2017 SIHH releases: the 40mm WW.TC Small Seconds and the 45mm Neo Bridge. Discover their class, modern appeal, and wearability.

There was a third one which I liked a lot, the Constant Escapement " Black " 46 mm, but I couldn't take pictures of it as it was in the window display, but I am sure Blomman will not fail.

There was a third one which I liked a lot, the Constant Escapement " Black " 46 mm, but I couldn't take pictures of it as it was in the window display, but I am sure Blomman will not fail.

The WW TC Small Seconds:

40 mm of pure class and distinction. I am very happy to see this case back in the collection. Yes, it looks a bit cold and understated, but I am sure GP will play with different colors. But in this dial configuration, it looks like an instant classic.

I am in love!

The Neo Bridge is another beast. Take a Neotourbilllon, remove the tourbillon et voilà. You have a watch with z lot of character, appeal, charm. Ok, you don't have a tourbillon anymore, but your wallet will thank you.

I don't see it as a second choice. I see it as an alternative.

Do I prefer it to the Neotourbillon? No, but I am happy to see it, and well, am thinking about it...

These bridges are so sensual, modern, bewitching.

The case is generously sized ( 45 mm ) , but not too much once on the wrist.

Tempting, very tempting.

This is the good thing with Girard Perregaux. Each year, they come with something special, which provides some fresh air ( or blood ) to the SIHH.

Blomman, we are all waiting for your reports and reviews. You will have a lot of pleasure working on them, no doubt about that!

Best,

Nicolas

and yes, we may see more colour variations. From what I have seen so far on photos, I think the new looks particularly good in pink gold. The Neo Bridge, I need to see in the flesh and feel it. On photos I feel like I'm looking at a skull, but may be completely different in real Thanks for sharing. CC

and I feel I can add this Neo Bridges to the list. The WW TC Small Second will be a hit, I am sure. Thank you for the pictures!

In photos it might come of as "pail". But in real both are stunning! As for the Neo Bridge - we will discuss again after you saw it in real... Best Blomman

Very modern character and GP. Will have to try it on but doubt it will be a fit as the 1858 44mm is already pushing oversize for me (wallet will be happy though!).

! Definitely looking forward to seeing the GP and UN releases though, probably more so than other brands.

They are not comparable. 44mm MB do wear bigger than a 45mm GP. The way GP makes their lugs, I am able to wear anything from 34mm up to 48mm without discomfort on my 17.5cm wrist. Best Blomman
