Some Girard Perregaux novelties.

Here are some of the novelties. 


One you know, but in a new ( to me ) case and dial combination. 

1/ The Vintage 1945 Earth to Sky Edition: 




The case is in DLC Titanium, 36, 10 x 35, 25 mm big, with a sapphire case back and a polycristalline blue dial. 

The movement is automatic, the well known Cal GP 3300, beating at 28, 800 vibrations per hour, and offering a power reserve of 46 hours. 

Here, for once, I find that the XXL case goes very well with that dial. 

2/ Vintage 1945 Infinity Edition: 

Here, the case is in steel, with the same proportions, with a sapphire case back, housing the same movement than the " Earth to Sky edition ". bu here, with a superb black Onyx dial, offering a superb depth. 






Now, some round watches: 

The Free Bridge Infinity Edition is a 44 mm case, made in DLC Steel, with an Onyx dial and a Neo Bridge. The movement is the Cal GP 1800-1299, offering a power reserve of 54 hours. A version I like a lot. 



The Laureato Infinity Edition is 42 mm big. Onyx Dial and Cal GP1800 with a power reserve of 54 hours. That one, I would have loved to see it in a smaller size, without date! 



Let's end with the Cosmos Infinity Edition, and its 47 mm titanium case. Here you have a night and day indicator, a tourbillon, and the Zodiac Constellations. A iteration of the Cosmos, unveiled a few years ago, but here with an Onyx dial.




Well, these are iterations rather than true novelties... Which I regret a bit, truth to be told, even if some of them are really cool looking, such  as the Free Bridge and the Vintage 45 Earth to Sky.

What do you think? 

Best,

Nicolas

Thanks a lot, Nico. Nice to see GP still gives us hope ;)

I like the 45 vintage sky to earth, only wish it were in steel, not DLC titanium. And the cosmos is amazing but out of reach. My biggest wish is that GP will be available again in my country so I can really try and buy the Laureato 38. Have a great day, m... 

Well, here you are...

the Cosmos Infinity Edition with Onyx dial a lot. This could be definitely on my wish list. Second for me is the Vintage1945 Infinity Edition with black Onyx dial. The only problem for me is that I find the date window near the β€žGPβ€œ logo too ... crowded. ... 

I just made a little research, and

I must confess that size and thickness of the case are not my first concern. It’s rather the thinness of my wallet after the purchase. πŸ™πŸ˜‰

Earth to Sky caught my eye.

I’ve never seen this watch before. I do like the more contemporary look, the coloured crystal and transparency to the date discs etc remind me of my Vagabondage. Thanks for the write up.

Tough call. I might lean towards the steel.

Even though I am generally an Earth to Sky fan as you know!

Nicolas, Michael, it seems like a big watch (and hard to gauge given the shape).

What do you both think? On the wrist how does it wear? When I’m fully vaccinated I may just take a trip to the AD to see one in the metal.

I have never tried one on. I like the curved case as seen in Nico's photo.

I expect that will help this big boy fit nicely.

Keep us posted, please.

The cosmos is captivating

I think I could stare at it for hours.
