50 Shades of Grey 🙈

I just realized that I have three grey 3-hander dials from GP. All Laureatos. And I have comes to see how well GP does with dial colors …. especially grey. Generation 5 of the Laureato my 38 mm. This model is discontinued now. Gunmetal grey is how I would

Girard Perregaux Vintage 66 Minute Repeater.

Issued in 2012, this piece was available in rose gold, only. Enamel dial, a nicely decorated ( but a bit too small ) movement, I just regret that it was not ( afaik ) available in white metal, and that the governor on this one was a tad too noisy. I didn'

On the wrist …. My 38 mm NEO-vintage cushion case GP 2499 chronograph

My beloved - should we say: ultra-rare - Type XX Girard Perregaux.

It is from ca. 1959. I guess it is safe to say that worldwide, so far, only "a handful" of these have surfaced. It is powered by a Valjoux 720.Last pic in comparison with my Breguet Type XX. Cheers, HSTE

Here’s one I don’t wear often enough.

Being on a strap, in this heat and humidity, isn’t conducive to wearing it. And it’s on the dressy side for a chronograph. It needed winding today so I put it on and now I’m having trouble taking it off. Happy Monday.

GP 2498 silver guilloche dial

Friends, On the wrist today: GP 2498 Cushion case 38 mm Year of release circa 2003 I’ve always been fond of “cushion case”shaped watches. They are neither round nor square … and just seem to fit the wrist better. The gullioche silver dial provides a 3-dim
