Girard Perregaux

Hi all,

I am new to Girard and just wanted to say hi. I just went out and bought an EVO MOON today, black dial. It came in to our AD here in Denver yesterday and my daughter has dance by the store. I went in to pass some time while my daughter dances, and went to a place a usually do not go: The Girard area. My eyes went right for it; they had a white and black version. After an hour of back and forth, I went for the black, though I must admit this is one of the few watches you can buy both versions and have two different watches!!!! All I can say is wow. I rarely throw out AD money, usually go grey market ( sorry, but I also buy my cars on internet too).) But this watch just spoke to me and well... you know how much later and I am now enjoying it.

Questions for those in the know: Can I wear this everyday. It seems like it is pretty durable but it is also a major watch--122 years for the moon, power reserve, sapphire disks, etc. How is GP on service. IF I ever really baged it up, could I buy a new case, a bracelet, etc. Oh and by the by, the bracelet is very had to adjust. The AD did it for me, but even they had a hard time with the two side screws, as they do not conform to the old... righty tighty lefty loosy.

Also, I have a pretty low number , in the 100's. The AD told me maybe around 500 per year will be made and that may even be a high number. He also said these were the firt two they received, even though they stock about 3/4 of their watches and sell them quit well ( he even had two three bridges there and said he got them before the EVO MOON!). He said the the watch is very expensive to make, lots of R&D, and the movement very expensive, according to him, and he said it will no doubt go way up in price in the next few years, as the profit margin for them is low. I am not sure if he was giving me lines ( like I said I do the internet for sales), but I just wanted to know if you all thought this to be true.

Anyhow, great watch and just wanted to say hi and get your advice on wearability and such...

with warm regards

Hi there,

GOOD BUY!precise decision!I loe the part when you mentioned--the watch talk to me!That's call feeling or passion!

....To continue your question,its a high durability watch with very tough and earn high marks caliber 0330 by GP but that does not mean you go diving or sky jumping on it.On the out look side,you are very right!both black and white are simply irresistable,and acceptable to own both.The beauty of this watch is matches with nearly all the attire you have regardless of jeans,suits or etc.On the alue side,i would simply say the best,not even pp nautilus if put side by side just simply shy away interms of practicality,functionily and even stylish.

Lastly,GP's dealership network are quite well establish,i face no problem at all with my local AD whom gives execellent after sales service.

Again!Congratulation!wear it in good health & do post some pictures to share.

 

Warm greetings,

I've worn mine almost every day since I got it!  It's a great one - enjoy!

G'day,

to me you did well; it´s a finely made watch with an unique combination of complications, of which all and the movement are propietory developments and creations of Girard-Perregaux. This alone qualifies it as a very special piece and it´s not easy to find a comparable watch (not to speak of finding a comparable manufacture-made watch for that money).

In fact there aren´t many Evo Moon´s around; GP isn´t comfortable in sharing exact figures, but all signs indicate the annual production to be less than 500. I´d be surprised if there are 500 units out there and in all regions particularly the black dial version is very sought after, with demand being higher than supply and collectors awaiting deliveries.

It´s a great watch and well equipped to withstand daily wear. One should keep in mind NO mechanical timepiece to be as tough as a G-Shock by nature, due to the fact it needs extremely small parts to make it work. Because of this, high impact forces can cause damages, but that´s inevitable for all mechanical watches to some degree.
Other than that, it´s made to be worn and i´m sure it will serve you well. GP maintains a world-wide service network with a service department in the US as well, therefore no worries for the future!

Congratulations again, on your fine Evo Moon!

Cheers,

Peter

Enjoy and congrats.

I must drop by my AD to see this one in person.

Wear your new beauty in great health, and congratulations.

Best Regards,
