Oops! To be honest, I meant 2nd picture (first macro), but the bridges pic is of course also amazing. ;-) [nt]

Girard Perregaux Neotourbillon Black Beauty.

By: amanico : June 4th, 2019-03:48

Some official pictures of one of my favorite modern Girard Perregaux, the Neotourbillon Black. Young, fresh, artistic, contemporary. This watch revisits the legendary Tourbillon with bridges from Girard Perregaux. Very high in my wish list! Best, Nicolas ...

Yes, "stunning" would be the only word that fits this one.

But, dear Nicolas, may we discuss an element I never see mentioned in these pages—to wit: the way the hands are fastened to the stems/shafts? that connect them to the gears below. I bring this up because in this case something different seems to be going ...

No hexagonal slot. This is a trick of the picture. The hands are deliciously brushed. [nt]

OK, but what about the mother of pearl cap? I've not seen this before. [nt]

Not MOP. A trick of the light. [nt]

You can see it's not MOP when you view the last photo

Thank you! But is it not a cover of some sort? [nt]

By: halgedahl : June 5th, 2019-10:37

I believe just the polished tip of the canon pinion [nt]

+1. [nt]

Thank you. [nt]

Very attractive, a blend of modern and traditional watch making and design. [nt]

That's the thing with this watch. Something which captivates me a lot. [nt]

Imagine how distressing it would be to find a thread, or a scrap of lint in that marvelous mechanism

By: cazalea : June 4th, 2019-08:19

It seems so perfectly pristine in there! I WANT ONE! Cazalea PS - but the screwhead on the bottom left bridge footing is not lined up properly - 10 lashes to the assembler, please.

I didn't notice that, but you are right! ;) [nt]

How VERY like dear cazelea. But, Gadzooks! Had I just shelled out for this thing I'd be furious! FH [nt]

Cool watch, I like it.

It's nice to see how GP has updated a very classic concept with a very nice and modern look. Whole escapement looks gorgeous. Vte

Absolutely, my friend. This is remarkable. And I am not a fan of black watches, but here, I would happily make an exception. [nt]

That 2nd macro is spectacular! Very nice. [nt]

By: Cru Jones : June 6th, 2019-15:29

Yes, this focus on the bridges.... Wow! [nt]

By: amanico : June 6th, 2019-22:36

Oops! To be honest, I meant 2nd picture (first macro), but the bridges pic is of course also amazing. ;-) [nt]

By: Cru Jones : June 6th, 2019-23:59

That's my favorite, the second picture, because of the shape and the treatment of these bridges. [nt]
