WOW WOW WOW!!!

Hi Steve,

sincere congrats on a wonderful addition!
A big piece, in any aspect! And in weight, i´d guess

The funny thing is, the "cutting edge" approach of the Three Gold Bridges to be widely underestimated.
Sure it´s the oldest movement still in production and quite some steps during creation are executed just like 130 years ago.
But it´s not been designed to look fancy only, but first and foremost to be an ultimately accurate timekeeper. These won GP a lot of prizes and not without reasons almost all of the vintage pocket pieces are certified Observatory Chronometers.
The added automatic winding is quite a tricky thing, particularly when keeping in mind the auto winding is close to invisible and does not change the layout or dimensions of the movement.
So there´s really something to these

But most important, probably, it makes you smile
For sure it looks great on your wrist! The bracelet is a rare sight and a very nice and very luxurious extra indeed.

The RR Phantom is quite a matching comparison!

And if there are more pics, please feel welcome to let them flow
Thank you for sharing and enjoy your beauty!!!

Cheers,

Peter

New watch! Bit of a change up for me

By: SteveH : January 29th, 2007-12:44

This one is a change up for me. I generally have been drawn to “cutting edge” watches. My focus has been on technical ingenuity rather than beauty or classicism. Basically, I was a sports car guy. Richard Mille: Bugatti, URWERK: Lamborghini, FP Journe: As...

I'll try to take some better pictures in the coming weeks. I'm having some camera difficulty right now (my flash won't work hence the dark wrist shot by the window). Looking forward to spending some more time in the GP forum! -Steve

Pleasure!

Just do it!This is a 180° turn, at least :-) But what a watch! I said it before, and now again, YG is the gold that's always is classic.And more and more WIS dare to show gold watches,not just WG or PT. I'm a big fan of YG. And of GP, of course :-) Just b...

thanks for the kind words [nt]

Thanks guys. One probem though, this watch makes me feel incredibly wealthy!

By: SteveH : January 29th, 2007-15:45

I think it's going to get me in to trouble. Within 2 hours of strapping it on my wrist I was in a wine shop buying 12 good Bordeauxs. Then off to the cheese shop to sample and get three hunks of good cheese. This could be very dangerous.... ;-)

Not so quick...

Buying those 12 Bordeaux wines might be pretty hazardous to your wealth. As they too are damned addictive. Bon Appetite. Bill PS. Ariel on its way yet. - Now that could be hazardous to you health. 0-60 in 2 seconds.
