Horological Meandering

Thanks Marc

 

IMHO where GP really stands out is their complications - 3 bridges tourbillons (not 1, but necessarily 3), Opera's, Jackpot, Venus-based splits, etc. They are amazing, truly unique there and more interesting than many bigger brands and independents.

agree … 😆 I don’t think they like it much when I call them out for not protecting the brand image. Oh well, tough love. 🤝

Very much enjoyed that read Marc!

GP is really two companies in one. The haute horolgerie … the models you mentioned above. And the more “normal” models such as the laureato and such. The two categories are created and worked on in two totally different departments Now that you mention it...

I think the nice thing about neo vintage GPs is the wide variety of models. It was quite extensive and they were quite brave back then. 🤝

Congratulations

With your knowledge, passion and in-depth analysis on GP, maybe you can write a book on their history and future.😇

Excellent article, great to see the depth of your collecting and knowledge.

Marc, Appreciate the time you take to share your knowledge too. GP has fab history and their watches are too often overlooked. Cheers, Tim
