Girard Perregaux

a few more...

 

and yet more to come.

BTW, will you be in Basel / SIHH during this year's shows?

I had to pull the crown, and make the cage stop...but the movement is so smoothly lubricated, that even at the slightest provocation like returning the crown would set the cage running.

BTW, the watch was shot on top of an upturned acrylic drink tray which was used to serve Willy and I espresso and water just moments earlier.




I find the carbon fiber dial amazing! it looks almost translucent...and the printed letters on the dial look like they are floating above.



Agree, this is an amazing piece. Incredible thick glass, beautifully executed.



We shot a lot of watches that day...see this table...





Note the pocket watch just at the far side of the table...I will be writing a short article and photographs on this very special watch. Willy had just found the watch the week before...and not had time to restore it yet...but it looked prestine! It was the last 3 bridge tourbillon pocket watch ever made. This is the first place it is ever been mentioned in public.
