Author blomman Mr Blue shares heartwarming photographs illustrating the early introduction of his young son to the world of Girard-Perregaux watches. This charming post explores the ideal age for the next generation to begin appreciating fine timepieces, focusing on developing a gentle yet firm handling technique and an eye for detail.
Friends,
When is the right time to let the next generation start to handle Girard-Perregaux watches?
I would say at the age of two years and three months!
Because by then they know the loupe…
How to wind the watch…
But most importantly, how to hold a watch…
Gentle, but still with a firm grip!
Here is a link to a post from many years ago on the same topic:
I see a PuristS future in him!

how lightning fast they grow I see same firm grip as in his father hands Yours D
If you look closely, you will see he got exact copies of my hands - in a few years, it will not be easy to tell our wrists apart! Best Blomman
It would be surprising, if there was no future Purist in him I need to make a second attempt with mine. Got a vintage NOS Fortis Mini-Flipper for her, which she enjoyed but it was too early to her to wear a watch. Soon, though... Very, very cool post
He still do not wear a watch every day... But maybe in a couple of years he will start... I will let him decide! Best Blomman
