Blomman Mr Blue presents a captivating series of Girard Perregaux 1966 watches, each featuring a unique world map motif dial. This post celebrates GP's mastery in utilizing diverse materials and artistic styles to create travel-themed timepieces, inviting readers to appreciate the brand's creative expression.
Friends,
I will stick to the given theme this week, “Summer time, Travel time – Travel watch”.
So, what could be more suiting than a watch where all you have to do is to look at the dial to travel the whole world?!
One thing I find awesome with GP watches is the way they work with different materials and styles to express themselves!
Not long ago I posted the last part of the Le Corbusier Trilogy as an example of this.
Here is another quartet showing the diversity both in style and material coming from La Chaux-de-Fonds: different watches, different dial materials, different period of times…
Same motif: the World map, same base: GP 1966 in Pink Gold.
The Pearls of Wonder: Papyrus
The Terrestrial map: Jade
The New World: Stone
Traditional map: Enamel
A travel through time, from ancient history to the present…
Which World do you prefer….?
Best

I think I have a preference for the 3 first models but I don't know which to choose. As ususal with Metiers d'Art I guess it really should be seen in the metal. I think I have a little preference for the Le Corbusier :) Thanks Blomman! Cheers, Mark
My photos are not able to show all the shades and details on these pieces of art! Like paintings.... Le Corbusier , let me guess - Paris?! ;) Thank you for your input, Mark. Best Blomman
Yes, the Papyrus and the Enamel - both are mesmerizing ! :) Best, my friend Blomman
and I have a Le Corbusier flat near my place, it is quite nice :)
Your nickname gave you up! ;) Best Blomman
