99150 is slightly smaller!

GP´s ref. 99150 is a likewise uncommon model; in the past years, they only made a handful (less 3 in the last 2 years).
It´s 40x15,42mm, which is a little smaller than the JR. And definetely a more "retro-look", although it´s a very beautiful piece particularly with ruthenium-grey dial in nature!

As for the decorative elements, there´s truly a lot of them
The vertical "stripes" used to be called "cotes faverges" then; the function is the same (binding dust by means of a rough surface), but it´s in fact a decorative element rarely seen these days. Well, somehow most seem to be condition to expect Geneva stripes
Nonetheless, decorative elements are likewise easy made to fit the owner´s taste.
I´m sure JR will at least consider to fulfill wishes for some personalization; there´s probably not a big production of these tourbillon chronographs to be made anyway, which leaves a little room to support custom orders.
Personally i´d love to see one with a plain frosted gold finish! Somewhat of a classic simple look, which may result in a nice contrast with the more modern dial and case.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Peter, I saw this one in the windows at the last SIHH and was quite appealed. Although I really appreciated the Richeville Tourbillon we saw when visiting the manufacture in May, I must confess my perfect choice would be to have the tourbillon in the b...

Wow

Very nice watch and movement, but..

By: loujo : July 18th, 2007-17:24

do you think it will suffer the fate of VW Phaeton? Would it not better to have GP brand on the dial instead? Just a thought.

Hi Peter, that is a nice chrono tourby but i would also like to share this understated piece of chronograph watch by JR... The one on the right in the photo above. Sorry i only have this photo and perhaps Peter you could share with us more photos and deta...

Ah yes, that does fit!

Let´s see: A couple of points in this earlier thread: gp.watchprosite.com But the Bressel Chrono certainly justifies a closer look, so i´ll see if there´s more! Cheers, Peter...

A closer look and the final picture

By: PeterCDE : July 19th, 2007-22:15

A closer look; the counterplay of colours makes for a nice contrast, which underlines the excellent craftmanship represented by the tourbillon: Finally, a different perspective. One may notice the pushers and crown to be in the same plane and the case to ...

That power reserve indicator is almost hidden =) Cool design....

Thanks Peter. Interesting engraved "Geneva stripes"

By: SJX : July 22nd, 2007-03:14

While the movement is no doubt carefully and well decorated, I personally feel there is a bit too much, the engraved stripes, frosted finish, blued screws, embossed text. I like the dial side though, very modern look. In fact, I prefer this dial to the GP...
