Girard Perregaux

GP Ref 2499 38 mm cushion case ❤️

 

Yes, GP made cushion case watches … in 38 mm too. Very good fit for smaller wrists as well.

The heft of the full steel bracelet makes it feel substantial and yet elegant. Like a prized fighter wearing a tux (if that makes sense).

The dial switches from full black to charcoal grey in different lighting. The web guiloche pattern gives a 3-dimensional optical illusion to the dial.

20 years ago and never made again. Neo-vintage is the golden age for many watch brands and especially so for GP when it was owned by Gino Macaluso.

His passion and creativity looked far beyond an excel sheet to manifest into the actuation of his beloved brand. He prized innovation and balance … from dial to movement to clasp, seeking perfection in the aspect ratios we commonly call harmony or balance.

130 of these made in the black guiloche dial and 180 in the silver dial. Yep, that’s it. Extremely small production.

How about these for neo-vintage?

I agree that was an emerging era. My G-P from about 2000 and Ebel (with Zenith's El Primero inside) from 1989. I have two other classic G-P's from 1993 and 1980's. HAGWE! Clive ...

The richeville is a reissue/revival of the original richevilles made in the 1960s. I favor the 2710 richeville chrono over others because it Uses the Lemania 1872 movement. Especially if they come with the GP original bracelet and are in full steel with a...
