Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with Three Golden Bridges
Friends,
Another Horological master piece: the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with Three Golden Bridges.
Every time I look at photos of this watch I get a smile on my face and remember the big pleasure of trying this watch on my wrist!
Have to admit that visibility is not as good as on the version with the original shaped bridges…
But when it comes to this kind of watch, I think it is OK if visibility pays a toll…
What do you think? Would you wear this watch?

Hi Blomman
I prefer the round case one but you are right regarding the hands. Another colour would help to read hours. Best
The Three Golden Bridges have a lot of round models!
Will try to post one for you soon! Best Blomman
For me, this works perfectly!
I have to say that when I would be able to get one 3GB Tourbillon, then the Vintage 45 case with the straight bridges is the one I would go for. Why? Because I like the combination of the parallel lines in a square case, giving it a modern look while keep...
I agree on all you said!
But, I would still want a round version as well... Best, my friend Blomman
Subprime readabilty ... to use a nearly oldfashined term from the baking world :-)
Interesting that readability is less perfect on the squared model, which is due to the cut out hands? Regardless this little detail this model comes second after the round, 41mm rose gold version from 2010. Have you got a picture of it ? Best Moritz
Due to the cut out hands and the wider bridges...
I think the classic shape of the bridges are less intrusive due to the thin middle part of the bridge. I will check my archive what I can find... Best Blomman
Daydreaming.. I like the square shape on this splendid 3GB Tourbi.. but yes, ..
.. Readability is a certain down, also for me.. Thus, if one- then the round in black & RG.. This one still is mesmerizing as well ! Best, hs
