Blomman Mr Blue's post from SIHH 2018 unveils the Girard-Perregaux La Esmeralda Tourbillon “À secret,” a breathtaking creation that pays homage to the original pocket watch. This article highlights the watch's exquisite finish, intricate decoration, and the intriguing 'secret' mechanism, offering a first look at a significant novelty from the brand.
Another mind-blowing creation from Girard-Perregaux this year is the new version of the La Esmeralda Tourbillon “À secret”!
A 44mm creation in Pink Gold, taken to the highest level of finish and decoration.
With great dedication to the original Pocket watch La Esmeralda, GP have now made a wrist watch version with the same level of decoration as the original.
The finish of the case as well as the bridge arrows and movement is second to none, IMO.
Can only imagine the beauty to see the Tourbillon “dance” here!
But this watch also carries a secret, hence the name…
A marvel we will look deeper into details of soon!

Blomman

.....great coverage from you guys too..... Blomman/CC.....many thanks
. . . . was it necessary to prominently display the word "PATENTED" on the dial? M4
the finishing on the case and the movement is out of this world.
Astonishing piece GP is hitting hard this year Cheers D
