2017 grail - Girard Perregaux Three Bridges versus 2018 grail - Breguet La Tradition Fusee Tourbillon
Howdy fellow Purists,
last year, I posted a grail piece that I have lusted after for almost a decade, the Girard Perregaux Three Bridges. I am happy to acquire another piece on my grail list since 2013, the Breguet La Tradition Fusee Tourbillon a few months ago. I have been able in the last few years to save and skimp to fulfill the Grail list one piece every year. As the list diminishes and I age towards early retirement, I consider my horological journey, largely documented here on Purists and on my Instagram, akin to my life journey too - the highs and the lows. I will write a separate post with more pictures in the Breguet sub forum soon.
Whats your experience in creating a grail list and your efforts to fulfill it?
Best, Horo

Well done
i’m close in fulfilling my grail list, it is however more modest as yours 😀. I just can see some reshuffle in the existing collection but I’ve decided that’s the budget I have to work with. By the way I like both of them and although a lot of people might...
The Skeleton is revolutionary awesome
Breguet make skeleton look Purposeful instead of decorative/corny
And regarding your question
I'm still focusing my effort trying get a set of watches that covers the basics I kind of "need" as a WIS. I wouldn't even call it "my collection", as I see them more as just "my watches". I'm still there and I will start collecting afterwards (hopefully)...
Beautiful 3 bridges celluloid pen... brings back memories ...
Needless to say beautiful and grail time pieces ...
those are two spectacular grails
I admire the Brequet especially. Fantastic piece that strikes me as very modern while using some very traditional features. I have ended up in a somewhat similar place (of course several notches below you in what I have). I enjoy buying very few, but (for...
