The GT1 holds a special place in my heart!
I’d been into watches since I was a kid, but it wasn’t until my mid 20’s that I started to understand more about complications, finishing, haute horology etc, and the GT1 was the first watch I saw that truly captivated my imagination. I’m not sure I even ...
