Friends, Let’s continue with Part IV of our series of hidden Girard-Perregaux gems from the 90s. If you have missed the previous Parts, go check them out, links are at the bottom of this report. Last time, we looked at the “Vintage 1996” a chronograph fro

Even though I am less fan of the Laureato line than the Vintage 45 and 1966. The 2595 is a marvel! I have a soft spot for the Vintage 45 line, which gave birth to some of the most amazing watches, from the simpler to the most intriguing ( Mechanics Of Art

Friends, This is a somewhat special post, but rather than going on about some personal milestones, I’d rather look at historic milestones of Girard-Perregaux! The modern collection of Girard-Perregaux outside the Haute Horlogerie with the iconic Three Gol

Friends, I can't help but show some fresh shots (again) of the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945, the original re-edition from 1995, Ref 2595. I think this is a truly amazing watch that won my heart by storm. The curved lins, the pink gold and black dial... T

Friends, I know I’m a bit crazy. I own the current collection Vintage 45 time-only with the XXL case, and I also have the marvelous Chronograph 2599 and also the Large Date / Moonphase 2580, so why the hell do I need another Vintage 45??? In fact, I don’t

as far as I know, the only bicolor version of the 2595 had the case in gold and the bezel in steel, so vice versa than the 70th anniversary. The small seconds shape is pretty close, but the 2595 did not have breguet numerals, that's more reminescent of th
