One shot of the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Perpetual Calendar - A study in asymmetric balance
Friends, One shot of the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Perpetual Calendar. - A study in asymmetric balance! A clean dial, full of information. To me, this is a perfect example of a asymmetric dial full of complications... But in my opinion, Girard-Perregaux manag...
Great shot, my friend
Now to be honest, I'm struggling to get warm with that model. I much prefer the Annual Calendar EOT with the extra EOT display and small seconds. I find the month display is a bit large and the leap year indicator too playful. While I'm not a huge fan of ...
I'm with you CC
A bad picture of mine that I let go few years ago and I have few regrets especially with this livery. Best wishes Alkiro ...
Well, the EOT function makes it an astronomical watch but ...
to be a true EQT it needs to be adjusted to a local place, if I am not mistaken. Like AP PC EOT ... man, we can communicate with a string of a few letters only ( AP ... PC ... EOT) !
You're absolutely right and the AP Jules Audemars EoT is really emblematic for that with the city writings.
But regarding this GP, it was not a true problem for me. First, who need to know the EoT? Then, I supposed they were adjusted with La Chaux-de-Fonds as reference. I live in Geneva and these both cities are only separated by 150 km. I think the impact on t...
If I had the choice....
Yes, I would go for the Annual Calendar EOT. Just because I find the EOT complication fun! Best Blomman
I like it
It has got a nice variety of hands (all are different) and a quirky dial design that gives the owner a feeling of a more playful, light watch than a dead serious, classic watch with overstressed magnitude.
To compare different brands can be though...
But here I think you are correct. UN are good at asymmetrical design, PP...? Not sure. Best Blomman
I would have organized the dial in a different way....
The Date is the most important feature, so the bigger the better. Ok. Now the day is the second most important information. I would have put it big. The month is less important. We never forget what month we are. But all in all, a classic and elegant watc...
Interesting point
To me, if PC then date is=Date and Month. Hence, logical to have these two big. Week day, is a separate data, secondary to the date. So with this design, wearing the watch on your left wrist, you easy see the date including month. If you want to see which...
Great pic of a classical, balanced watch.. Guess the type of symmetry is everybody's subjective assessment..
.. Maybe I did not quite get all the indications but: - what are the 1-4 numbers above month window ? - where is the year to be found ? But I also expect it to have a pretty hefty price tag; I'm not a true fan of PC's, so I might look around what other br...
Hey HS, the 1-4 is the year indicator with 4 being the leap year
hope that clarifies that. For me, a PC should come with a Moon Phase as well for romantic reasons...
Thx for the info, CC !.. So there is no actual year in numbers, right ?.. Hmmhh.? ;))
Best, hs PS: +1 in regard to he moon display !
I much prefer it without the full year display
do not yet need it as I can still remember the year and often that breaks the dial look too much. IMO.
