Girard Perregaux

Foversta wrote an article on that Watch a few weeks ago. When we were at the Manufacture, Blomman and me, we couldn't see it in the real. But on pictures, I was not convinced. In the real, neither, to kill any suspense. Let's be clear: I love Travel Watch...  

Thank you for sharing these photos, Nicolas. I agree that this is not one of GP's better Dual Time watches. But I don't understand why the size of the movement would matter here. Yes, the location of the sub-second is related to the movement size, but the... 

Here, the second time zone ring is too centered. Which may be explained by the size of the movement ( but you are right, having an official confirmation would be great ). Or is it a design thing? That makes me think about the centered subdials of the chro... 

The 24 hour scale is applied to the dial so it could be any size. The movement is 11 ''' 1/2, the case 40mm. The 24 hour ring shows the home time. The local time is read traditionally and is set forward and backward with the pushers. ...

...handled a 1966 chronograph day before yesterday (no date, automatic version) in white as well as colored metal..and I was totally blown away..it is an absolutely perfect watch by all definitions I can think of..the feel on the wrist, the finishing and ... 

First, there is the pretty large bezel which seems not to be in harmony with the overall size of the watch. Then there is certainly the position of the inner ring that reveals the movement size. Now, this criticism comes from someone who likes quite a few... 

I will come back to some of the 1966 I could see. There are some pure treasures, in this line. But like you, this one doesn't sing to me... A pity, as we are many here, to love travel watches! All the best, Nicolas
