Thanks!
Great to read your report and see all the live pictures. The blue sapphire Laureato looks much better in the live pictures than in the press photos -- the effect of the blueish tint is much more subtle and pleasing. The 1966 line continues to elegantly im...
The bluish tint is hard to capture on the lens
... and the tint changes with different angle. This play on light is what I really like - it's fun and subtle.
Oh no
What in G-d's name did they do to the chrono???????????? A date? A goofy looking little date window? reminds me of a Hamilton or something... oh no, no, no. I assume this is a second version of the chrono... shaking my head. It's amazing how right a brand...
share the same feeling
in fact i have a general allergy towards Date window ... how many great watches got messed up because of that HOLE... how many reproductions got meaning less " at least for watch purists" because of that HOLE... Faisal
Kudos...
... to GP for making 38mm model today. Much, much appreciated. Not everyone favors the bigger and thicker watches. Thanks for the report, Z3!
Ken, now that you can actually wear the watch.
I know you are very particular about the sizes.
There are so many things to say...
But the Minute Repeater was without any doubt one of the key watches of the Fair. The movement is beautiful and technically impressive. Result is an excellent sound quality. Thanks for the pics. Fx
The sound quality is superb
The the watch, from design to technicality, really pays tribute to tradition. Fantastic piece! Jon
Great novelties from GP.
Nice report. Glad to see how GP is "making some noise" again. Always have loved the three bridges Tourbillon movement, it was one of my fav watches for a while, long time ago. The minute repeater looks amazing, the EOT it's a very interesting option. The ...
The repeater has got a real mystical, nearly occult aura without copying the 3939
According to the homepage water resistant 30 m ...? But anyway: design is top, although with 42 mm on the bigger side, but quite obviously it is a large movement and offers also 100h power reserve. As in best tradition: technical top and design un-topable...
Agreed, here.Yes, WR to 30 meters.
More to come in a week or so, as I am working on a review about this watch. A Fantastic one.
Three bridge Tourbillons and 1966 repeater
The 1966 minute repeater is wonderful. I want to see this piece in metal. And the tourbillons under 3-bridges drive me crazy! Earlier or later, i must get my hands on one of these watches... The Laureato Tourbillon is cool as well. thanks for the report, ...
I couldn't help but notice..
The striking resemblance the 1966 Chronograph has to Patek's 5070, not that it downgrades the watch at all! Something about the space between the case and the actual numbers I reckon... Great report though and lovely photos!
