SIHH 2012: GP
By: foversta : February 12th, 2012-03:19
As you know, GP presented this year its latest collection in the context of the SIHH. The decision to move to Baselworld in 2013 is absolutely not surprising, Sowind being now a subsidiary of PPR. If I regret this decision for personal reasons (nothing ca...
Thank you

Hi FX, Thank you for your report. I would just say that the collection presented this year is to me even more appealing a few weeks later, and a very good one for the last at the SIHH! We will miss them in Geneva, even if I agree with your comments. Hopef...
Thanks Nicolas.

About the 1966 chronograph, me too I prefer it without the date. For the time being, I mainly expect from GP an integrated movement, handwind or automatic... I feel to live the same story than with another great Manufacture, AP. Of course, the design of t...
Another great report!

The videos were fantastic! Thanks for sharing those. It gives me an idea of how nice the repeater's sound must be in person. For you personally, which of the GP watches you reviewed would be your choice (if money was no object)? I love your pictures! Chee...
Thank you

Thank you for the great report on GP novelties! I love this brand and am glad to see they keep on innnovating. I find the repetition minutes a very interesting addition. As to them leaving the SIHH and going to Basel I am not sure that will have any effec...

not sure if that's the case, i did wear it riding bike for short distances and in shower a couple of occasions and its working perfectly. although i did not purposely abusing/testing its limit i was under the impression the 3 bridges were among the most d...

You have the laureato?Well you kept that quiet....We want to see more! Anyway,I ve heard the same speculation from different people,and the use of sapphire parts like bridges and plates allegedly proved to be fatal on some watches (I am thinking of the Un...

i did post a few pics a while back i have since seen many other tourbys, some more complex/expensive, yet if u see a tourby as baseline these 3 bridges really shines over time with simple balanced design: 3 horizontal lines crossing 3 vertical rings i luv...
Ed I am smitten....

You are indeed a lucky fella.... Three bridges over 2 round shapes,the magic of the rotor on top,a beautiful dial plate and a design to die for. Despite many tourbillon offerings around and despite the fact that I always associated a tourbillon with manua...

I ve had this discussion a few times with different people,never quite confirmed that but that seems to be the danger with sapphire parts,especially to develop tiny hair cracks when under pressure(ie screwing a screw through it and tighten it). But its tr...
