Friends,
I hope you had a great Midsummer weekend!
Here in Sweden, as tradition calls, the weather was really bad…
But after a thunderstorm it cleared up and we could enjoy this weekend outside.
My choice for Midsummer watch – the Girard-Perregaux Olimpico Chronograph reference 9238!
Last year, the temperature on Midsummer eve was lower than last year’s Christmas eve…
Yupp, that is Swedish traditional summer for you!

It represents a particular iteration within the Vintage line, offering a distinct character compared to other chronographs from the same era.

The appeal lies in its blend of classic proportions and reliable mechanics, making it a desirable piece for those focusing on the brand's heritage chronographs.
I'm moving up North!
But I fear they will turn me down since I am no watchmaker and any watch I get my hands on I want to bring home! Best Blomman
