Girard Perregaux

Friends, We all knew this day would come... Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81000 in the snow! Feels like yesterday I tormented you with summer time wrist shots... This is the first time for my Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81000 to see snow... And from the look of...  

before it catches a cold We'll try to find some sunshine and send it up North. CC

We need it.... Badly! Best Blomman

Thank you for this little "watch snowflake" ;-) Best wishes Alkiro

The fit on the wrist is magic! Best Blomman

Not a bad day to fly to Singapore. Best, Kari ...  

And not to Singapore.... But hopefully with a warm reception! Best Blomman

you really should bring this chap south Cheers D

No winter like Russian winter. Ask Napoleon or Adolf...

Try for yourself.

Weather will not be a topic for discussion! Best Blomman

I would like to have a word with those two.

But I fear that once down shout, he wants to stay...! Best Blomman

But i like snow in movies (and ice in my drink).

But yes, cold and wet as usual.... Best Blomman

19 degrees Celsius has already made some people put on their fleece jacket yesterday. To me, however, it's perfectly nice.

That is normal summer here in Sweden! At that point many people run around in t-shirt and shorts! Best Blomman

when I told them that it's just like a normal summer day in Europe.

The dial is very beautiful. A pity the case is on the large side, at 41mm. And a pity the movement is so small: 25,6mm. Another movement lost in a big case. But we can't blame a manufacture for making use its own good and thin base movement. And given the... 

But not the wide... I agree that it would been OK to see this new Laureato in 39 or 40 mm, but even at 41 you don't get a too wide feeling. Best Blomman

PS : All I can do right now is to send you some warming South Africa greetings from Cape Town with Table Mountain !! The downside is, I cannot join you guys at the 2 November GTGs.. Have fun !! Far away.. Not bad, indeed ! ...  

Here is an example of how the Laureato looked like in 1996: Best Blomman ...  

And here is the new VC: I will get a better pic tonight with the bracelet on. ...  

Maybe somewhere in Austria?

I like the watch, but trying one on recently, it doesn't work too well on smaller wrists. If it did, that would be quite a problem for me.

Too bad - would be an excellent next GP for you, my friend! Best Blomman

But it was just too big. The whole case and shape just couldn't wrap comfortably. The 1957 wore slightly smaller, but was still too big, unfortunately, else, one of them would have followed me home.

But take it easy... Soon you will find one that fit your wrist! Best Blomman

The Laureato certainly looks like it takes it in its stride Let\'s see how we can help with the weather tomorrow

,.. in South Africa is really not bad either ! Well, I guess you cannot have it all .. Enjoy your meeting ! Best, hs

Do let me know when you're back - and in the meantime enjoy the sun!

1 little Q: Am I right to assume, it's the lovely blue waffle dial ?. - Pls bring her with you next time !!
