Dear watch friends, thank you for your intense sympathy and great tips on my previous thread about „my“ beautiful grail watch Tourbillon with three bridges Bucherer Blue that is waiting for me.

I had the opportunity yesterday to take a first look at this marvel. Another appointment with the watchmaker is scheduled for next week. Here are a few first impressions. According to my information, these 18 pieces are being produced continuously.

"My" good piece is likely to be the second watch produced in this series.

We didn’t remove the plastic from the backside.

Thanks for looking, my dear watch friends. 🙏☺️

MTR's journey to acquire this grail watch involves a strategic decision to reduce his current collection, aiming to fund a significant portion of the purchase by selling other timepieces.
The process of parting with watches from a personal collection, even for an upgrade, is emotionally challenging, highlighting the deep personal connection collectors often have with their timepieces.
MTR emphasizes the importance of wearing his watches, stating that the Girard Perregaux Tourbillon will not be a 'vault queen' but an actively enjoyed piece.
MTR had a valuable consultation with a watchmaker, gaining new insights into the specific care and optimal treatment for the Tourbillon movement.

I like the more subtle blue on the bridges vs bright electric of some of the press photos.

The blue a bit mute vs the photos. Do you 💙 it ? Think about it, imagine it on your wrist, don't want to give it back after trying it ? Christian

Stunning watch. A peace that nest simply in my memory. What is so nice, is the case shape. I know that cone shape is very comfortable on the wrist. Not only the fit, it looks just the way i think it tick all boxes. Two flies in one hit for GP, extraordinary inner works that have the right cloths. Problem! I want it also.
