Thank you for this post, CC!
To change the Three Golden Bridges from Pocket Watch to Wrist watch was a important step in the GP history!
Without that, who knows where the brand would have been today.
One big difference we see on these early WW-versions of the TGB is that the bridges are quite flat and the movement is quite deep into the base plate.
Compared with the PW, where the movement is almost on top of the base plate.
Personally I prefer the later which we also can see on the newer versions of the TGB.

Indeed it was a very important step
and very hard to imagine GP today without this iconic wristwatch. I fully agree with you on how the bridges are shaped and integrated in the PW versus the early WW, but the modern Le Esmeralda offers the best of both worlds CC
Thanks Mitch and yes
each bridge will easyly take several days of polishing, but on the Pocket Watch, 1000 hours is almost half a year of work (considering humane Swiss working hours)
