Girard Perregaux

RE

 

Through the dimness of the private viewing area and two classes of Champagne the case that was presented to me was of a white(silver) color that I had assumed was white gold although I now know this must have been one of the limited editions in steel. White dial.  As for the size; to each his individual preference but for me a complicated watch/dial cannot be worn as a dress watch-I suppose I'm old school and do not intend to imply my tastes to others. With the leather strap and my morphology the piece seemed too insubstantial for the use I personally would put the watch to. For anyone other than a very big man (my case) there would be, IMO, no controversy with the size. The diameter of the watch is large but the dial layout makes it seem visually smaller.

OK, I'm no one qualified to make a critique so these are just my opinions suited to my tastes and body.

Dear enthusiasts and GP fans, it is with great pleasure and thanks to the efforts of GP Suisse i?m happy to share some really hot news; a new model, well-known and much appreciated, but new and different either. And a beauty: GIRARD-PERREGAUX: the ww.tc -...  

Now this is nice!

This would have to be one of my all time favourtes, especially with the 'financial' index. Here's a practical and elegant piece in one. My other is shown as well, the ww.tc BMW oracle edition. The steel version seems to look the goods. The limited status ... 

Some more input and a bracelet

Howdy, glad you like it! Well, the edition run of 1.000 pieces in steel seems high on first view. But then, it?s not first and foremost a collector?s piece. The "FTC" to me appears to be a very practical piece for those involved or interested in stock mar...

the clincher "useful" feature for a watch that I have tried but not bought because I already have a UN GMT +/- perpetual and some other timezone watch. Now, with additional NYSE, LSE, Hang Seng and TSE indications AND my favourite complication - chronogra... 

Held one last night

I went to a GP cocktail last night (I really had a lot of fun) and I was given the great pleasure of handling one of these. A bit small for my wrist but excellent all the same. noble

Did you get to see both variants in steel ?

And which was your preference, the white or anthracite dial ? Can you expand a little on the size issue . Thanks Dennis

Hi noble, any more input? Pretty please :-) You´re sure about the Financial Timer? There is a couple of 2006 WWTC´s in delivery, but best knowledge of mine is the FTC to be delivered close before christmas and none around. But i may be wrong, so i´m reall...

After reading your post this morning I stopped by my AD after lunch and he confirmed it was a Financial. I've never been into GP for some unknown reason but after this Cocktail, and constantly listening to the classical music CD GP gave to all the guests ...
