Girard Perregaux Opera One, Pt Case, 3 Gold Enameled Bridges, 2000.

A piece unique, issued in year 2000. Quite a marvel. The mix of a Minute Repeater and a tourbillon is magic. Add three enameled gold bridges and you have a masterpiece! Best, Nicolas

Too hot to sit inside still!

As the heatwave heats I’m spending more time outside and what else is there to do but to take pictures of this beauty. The dimming light (it’s pm) made the applied numbers and hands really stand out

GP ref: 9025 Perpetual Calandar Chronograph.

I’ve been on the lookout for the F-50 for quite a few years. All had some issue: no box or warranty or both; with a dealer reluctant to ship to the United States; or owned by a private citizen making it time consuming and imposingly difficult and time con

Girard Perregaux 1966 Chrono White Gold, Blue Dial.

Another great looking Chronograph, from a not too distant past. A pity it doesn't have a bigger and manual winding movement, because, aesthetically, this is a HIT. Best, Nicolas

Cushion cases are such great alternatives to the usual … showing is my NEO-vintage military dial GP ref 2598

About 900 examples made. 38 mm central chronograph with 6 hands, winner of the watch of the year in Japan in 1999. Some will have “1960” engraved on the caseback and some “1970”. Since I was born in 1970, naturally I found the one with my birth year. Anyo
