Why is it called "Black, Red and Blue" instead of "Black, Red and White"? Try as I might, I could not find the "Blue"...

Friends, I promised you a report on my recent acquisition, the Girard-Perregaux “Black, Red and Blue”, reference 9034 Q. As you may already have understood, this one is related to the 9034 “Dot dial” which we have seen examples from several batches - C, B...  

Very unexpected! :) [nt]

So we have the "dots" dial, the "flags" dial...how about the "Lego" dial for this one, the markers do look like Lego blocks.

Yes, the Flags I am still hunting...

I was thinking the name: Henri Matisse and his "Snail" made of paper patches. Or just "Patch"! Best Clive

The Patch dail...? Hm, I like the sound of that! :)

Love this one - if anything even more than the dot dial. The colour combination is funky and vibrant, it does not take itself too seriously and the hand painting makes it more, well, individual (no two are exactly the same). Just a short comment - in the ... 

LOL! Yes, I always think blue....

When I write about GP! As for the name - then we would have an argument with the Canadians! Best Blomman PS. Hope to show you this one in real soon!

That would be nice :)

Maybe not a country as a nickname! Best Blomman

How about the 'polka square dial'?

Not exactly polka dots but very much like them...

Very unusual & hilarious dial !.. Indeed, we might call it "quirky" & eclectic.. & not to take that dial too serious.. The dot dial as a ..

.. counterpiece shares a bit the same philosophy of dial appeal, though distinctly different, and also featuring the same movement, as you explained. The subsecond @6 with the red markings also contributes to this exuberant dial, while the hands\' tips ar... 

Thank you, HS for ...

Your positive input! Yes, a crazy fun watch! Best Blomman

That dial made me smile

When a watch does that - it's a good thing. Always great to see something unusual like that - thanks for sharing. I keep learning about weird and wonderful models on this site - it is one of the things that make it special!

Yes, this is a happy watch for sure! :)

Very interesting report my friend

Regarding the nickname, why not die (you will die for it!) or dice or cube? I love the idea of the game for that one. Best wishes Alkiro

Dice or cube....?

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : October 27th, 2016-13:10
I like that! Maybe I should put this up for a vote! Best Blomman

That's right ;-)
