Girard Perregaux

Way cool! Thanks!

 

Hi Peter,

oh, that´s very nice! Thank you very much!

Admittedly, my personal favorite still is the Three Bridges smile
But the "Flying Tourbillon" Sea Hawk Pro is a real stunner (and a big piece, literally)!
The carbon dial really adds a different and somehow inexpected look; the whole piece simply is big fun and different from anything around. Not just a dive watch and not just a tourby, but less "flashy" than it may appear on first sight.

I found the printing of the prototype not to be as nice as later production units; but as with all prototypes or preliminary versions, details are subject to later changes. If you had a chance to see the first units of the Vintage1966, it´s been apparent from the hour markers!
Which may show GP is really passionate about what they are doing and cares a great deal on such details.

You´re lucky to see a GGYC (the 1.000m Sea Hawk in steel) smile

I´m looking forward for the pocket watch!
The paper sheet in the left area is promising smile

And of course looking forward to see you in the watch fairs!

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Peter, thanks a lot! That´s a very nice wrist impression and obviously, it´s not a small watch at all But then, it´s not as obtrusive as sheer dimensions and the mass of the material might suggest. A real fun watch, for a lucky few! Any chance to see m...

and yet more to come. BTW, will you be in Basel / SIHH during this year's shows? I had to pull the crown, and make the cage stop...but the movement is so smoothly lubricated, that even at the slightest provocation like returning the crown would set the ca...
