Tourbillon AND Minute Repeater Carillon. When Girard made us dream... A bit thick, though... But not at the point to make me stop dreaming. Best, Nicolas ...

What I didn’t know was that GP brought the tourbillion into mainstream they using novel manufacturing to produce a cheaper and more versatile version. Am I wrong?

A dream piece indeed...

Whilst I can appreciate the Girard Perregaux Opera One for the technical brilliance it delivers.

It really is just not my type of watch as I find both the size of the bezel and the case thickness of the watch off putting. Marc

It's a good thing they wrote "Tourbillon" and "Repitition Minutes Carillon" on the dial or else the owner surely would have forgotten with such a discreet dial

I've handled a similar one live and find this bezel wide but rather stylish in its own right. IMHO, nowadays bezels are thin to make watches look bigger/wider, but it is not necessarily better, just different.
