Girard Perregaux

I got distracted and this happened……

 













Evidently I have been a good boy this year as this arrived on Christmas Eve!

Ever since the Neo bridges and the Laureato skeletons were released by GP, I have been enamoured by both. Of the Neo-bridges, I found the earth to sky edition particularly suited to the theme of the watch. Dark, cool and technical. I have been debating between the neo bridges and Laureato skeleton for some time and was actually about to pull the trigger on the steel Skeleton after the New Year. However, I was offered the earth to sky Neo-bridges at a price I could not turn down a couple of weeks before Christmas and here we are!


To say I am Over the moon is an understatement. What a piece! My limited photography skills do not do it justice. The 3D architecture of the bridges are fascinating to say the least. The curves on the bridges and the beating of the escapement is mesmerising. The shimmering anglage set against the matt black PVD parts is truly beautiful. Looks like black glass when the light hits at the right angle.

At 45mm, it is a large watch and as you can see in the photos, takes it to the absolute limit of what my wrist can bear. But GP have the good sense to make the case with short and curved lugs, making the watch much more wearable.

My Laureato skeleton funding pot has taken a dip but I feel I made the right call here because of the offer I received. There is place in my collection for both but will probably to let something else go to make the Laureato happen. Will see when the time comes!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and hopefully a bit of time off with loved ones.
