Elegant and classic. Have admired the triple bridge models for a long time but this may be the top.
How many pieces will they be making?

I can only imagine
how much better, how much more "wow" this watch has in real. A true show piece / master piece. I personally think, 44mm is a bit too much, so I continue to keep my dreams focused on the smaller 3GBT, preferably in white gold. CC
Indeed, I can only imagine the wow factor seeing this in the metal.
I, for one, love larger case sizes and think it would sit nicely on the wrist at 44mm. It's more of a feat to create something smaller. However, 44mm is a nice dimension for many too.
In this case I don't think 44 mm is too big!
Gives room for the bridges to really show! Best Blomman
Once you see this one in the metal.....
You will not think about the 44 mm size! The way the case is made to let you focus on the bridges is fantastic! Will explain in my review. Best Blomman
3GBTs...
Majestic as always, beyond the reach of most of us=( Nonetheless, a beauty to admire! J
Breathtaking
Since first getting into watches in the 90\'s, The triple bridge tourbillon has always fascinated me. This most recent rendition is absolutely superb!
The magic of the Three Golden Bridges is undeniable!
This year's version is absolute top! Best Blomman

No number communicated yet....
But I guess not many. This version I find extra beautiful due to the way the bezel is made. Will explain more in my review. Best Blomman
wow
the old 3 bridges lost some charms due to its size and detailing next to the pocket grandfather. but this one has all the vintage petina, details, and the dome crystal... wow i want itXD cheers, ed~
Would make a perfect pair with your Sapphire Three Bridges! :)
Yes, the Esmeralda in a modern interpretation! Best Blomman
Was at my AD today and together we looked at the Esmeralda in comparison with the original pocket watch. It is amazing! It is a phenomenal piece with such attention to detail. It truly overshadows the other triple bridge release
The hunger grows. I must see this watch In the metal. Do you have a picture of the back? Have not seen one. Any word on projected production numbers? My info is that it is not limited edition but limited production. Of note, on the other triple bridge rel...
Especially for you, Mitch! The case back of the Esmeralda....
Will post my initial thoughts on this one soon! Best Blomman ...
It is always the same feeling with the GP Tourbillon 3 GB.
The recto is more appealing than the verso, but there is indeed a reason behind that. And I can happily live with that. What a watch! Best, Nicolas
Indeed! Maybe GP should....
Go back to the original construction and have the bridges on the back and cover the front with a dial...? Best Blomman
Thanks. I see why there are no pictures of the back. The true party is on the front and it is a real party. That said
It would be cool if there was engraving I the watch case and the back to further honor the Esmeralda pocket watch.
On the original La Esmeralda the bridges are on the back...
And now the "dial side" has become the back of the watch. The artwork on the original is hard to match, a true master piece! Best Blomman ...
The front do have the engraving...
Btu agree, there could be on the back as well! Best Blomman
