Girard Perregaux Neoutourbillon or Constant Escapement in... Tantalum?
At a bit more than one month of the Basel Fair and its cortege of novelties, there is one watch I would love to see...
A Neotourbillon or a Constant Escapement in... Tantalum.
Let's go farther... Tantalum case, of course, but also tantalum bridges!
Both of these watches are, from my point of view- but I have the feeling I am not the only one- among the best expression of modernity, at GP.
Tantalum would add some technical challenge and a superb grey blue hue to watches which are already very appealing.
What do you think?
Best,
Nicolas

Constant without a doubt!
Pls feast our eyes when u r at Basel! Thk you sir! Salute in advance fr yr field report.
Oops sori, my bad.
I thought I remember u mentioning going SIHH (instead of Basel). Or I mistook u fr someone else. My bad again sir if that is the case.
Oops my bad...
U guys at this forum do a good job at this event. My alternate source of watch news other than TZ. Tks in advance!
Having seen both...
At Vienna Time, it is definitely the Neotourbillon. Generally not enamored with the complication but this watch is something else. Especially in this colour / material combination But only my humble, personal opinion...
The Constant Escapement is indeed a bit more intellectual. The Neotourbillon is maybe a bit more evident.
The other " big " difference between both of them is the extra 3 mm... Some wrists will feel better with the slightly smaller Neotourbillon, too. Best, and thanks for your feedback, my friend. Nicolas
Completely agree
Was talking raw physical appeal rather than the complexity of the complication
New Release of the Constant Escapement, please!
CE for me. Reason: Neo Tourbillon we already have in Rose Gold and Black case and I think that suits all tastes. And there is the bi-axial Tourbi in Tantalum too. The CE however, we only have seen one version (White and Rose Gold) and I would love to see ...
+1 on such a CE, if I would ever have the sweet pain of choice.. Which simply is impossible..
If I were to opt for a Neo Tourbi, then maybe Black.. - Sighhh.. To many Unreachables ! But dreaming is quite ok, whereby looking at good pics helps.. Sometimes.. ) Best, my friend ! hs
Depends... If you sel all your watches, you can fund one. ;)
I know, I know... I am a true Bast...o. Best, Nicolas
CE for me, please!
Great question, my friend! The Bi-Axial Tourbillon in Tantalum is already burning a hole in my brain and would be hard to beat... The CE on the other hand could explore some new grounds! Best Blomman
Yes. First you think that 48 mm is unwearable....
Then, while trying it, you just see that it fits your wrist quite well. Then, the dial... That is a magic watch. If you have the opportunity, try it! Best, Nicolas
