SIHH 2012: Girard-Perregaux 1966 Minute Repeater
PRESS RELEASE GIRARD-PERREGAUX 1966 MINUTE REPEATER The mechanics of harmony A masterpiece of elegance and technology, the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Minute Repeater unveils a magnificent mechanism that produces an intense sound. Its acoustic merits and the pu...
Wow! Hot! Gorgeous! Stunning!
I hope someday I will get to see this one in the metal, and that it is as beautiful as it appears in these images. That balance bridge is my favorite thing about this watch, although I suppose when I hear it I'll change my mind. The dial looks to be subtl...
So far, I think...
...this piece is my watch of SIHH 2012, followed by the AP RO Skeleton Tourbillon, and JLC Skeleton Reverso with blue enamel dial. I just think this watch hits on all counts -- it's a grand complication, it showcases challenging, traditional horological c...
Beeeaaaauuuuttttttiiiiffffuuuuulllll!!!
Wow, a real stunner here, front and back. Well done GP!
Isn't it?!
I am really impressed, and am hoping that ThomasM will take a listen to it. Acoustic complications are one of his favorite areas to focus on in horology, and he is certainly an expert in this field. Cheers, Daos
WOW...very, very sexy-
I love how they used Alexandrite colored sapphire, that blueish purple type really sets the watch off, blends wonderfully with the rose gold chatons. Reminds very much of my favorite watches of all time- incidentally, the GP three gold bridges pocketwatch...
I'm looking forward...
...to seeing the watch in person, and hearing it, naturally! I think GP did a great job keeping this piece classy and elegant even at 42mm. Cheers, Daos
I want to hear it...
Just like the famous movie producer says to the famous screenwriter, "I want to read your script!" I am the enthusiast who hopes, "I hope to one day hear it!" Beautiful looking watch. Just want to hear the beautiful sound.
I will come back to it a bit later, Daos, but to make it short
This one, the Laureato Tourbillon 3 Blue Sapphire Bridges and the JLC Duometre à Shperotourbillon are the clear winners of this SIHH. Clearly. I had the pleasure to see it and to hear it, too, I am in love! Best, Nicolas
Well, well, welll.
A strong endorsement from Vlad himself! I am even more intrigued by the GP MR! The original Laureato sapphire 3 bridges is my preference when compared to this new blue version, but I wouldn't kick the blue sapphire version out of bed so to speak! LOL! Che...
But but but.... I also have pics of the Laureato Tourbillon 3 Blue Bridges. :)))
This one + the MR are two strong pieces, to be seen for all those who doubted about this SIHH. Best, Nicolas.
Oh, I don't doubt it!
I bet the new blue sapphire version is juicy! Awaiting your report, Prince of Darkness! Cheers, Daos
Fabulous
Agreed with Vlad, Girard Perregaux is one of the big winner of this SIHH, with Audemars Piguet. (you can add JLC and Parmigiani with some interesting models) I was a bit concerned by this big size, but from but from what I have seen and heard, it is FAN-T...
The MR...
...was my favorite novelty of the show by far. I honestly think you could wear this watch to the office daily. It's just that understated and elegant! Cheers, Daos
