Favourite Girard-Perregaux of 2016?

Friends,

 

2016 is coming to an end…

Soon we will see the novelties for 2017 in Geneva at the SIHH Watch Fair!

But before closing 2016 I would like to hear which one was your favourite of this year.

 

In the “dream category” this year we saw two new versions of the Minute Repeater Tourbillon with Bridges (White Gold and Titanium), one new Tri-Axial Tourbillon (Titanium).

The Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges (45mm) and La Esmeralda!

none


We did not see a new version of the Neo Tourbillon (but it still haunts my dreams) this year.

But we did see a new version of the Constant Escapement (46mm)!

none

 

Another fantastic watch of this year, the GP 1966 Skeleton in Pink Gold.

none

 

Within the GP 1966 line we saw many new models, among them the Perpetual Calendar.

none


But also “simpler” models like the Date and Moon Phases and the Dual Time.

none

 

And the time only 44mm.

none

 

Girard-Perregaux continued their Chamber of Wonders collection with three new pieces.

none

 

A new Competizione chronograph line with the Stradale.

none

 

And the Circuito .

none

 

For the ladies, we had the Cat’s Eye Majestic.

none


And the Cat’s Eye Aventurine.

none

 

So many new beautiful creations!

Like the GP 1966 Moon Phases (36mm).

none

 

But also, some Limited Editions like the Place Girardet and the 50 th Anniversary.

none

 

Another is the 1957.

none

 

Last but not least, we saw the rebirth of the Laureato!

none

 

A very productive year for Girard-Perregaux to say the least...!


You all know my choice for 2016!

none


Which is your choice, now when we close the books on 2016?

 

Best

Chamber of Wonders!!! Definitely my favorite! Looks relatively simple from far away, but with so many details and so much work put into each one, it just drives me crazy, how I want one, or all three/six!

For me the Papyrus dial! Not only in style, but material...! Best Blomman

The new pre-SIHH 2017 1966 WW.TC took the top spot for me! Am very glad that GP decided to re-introduce the classic size for the ! Over the last few years, when is strictly the sports versions, I do miss their many beautiful iterations of 41mm pieces. Hope to see more beautiful pieces during the SIHH 2017 launch...

Yes, I share your hope! We saw several great years in a row... Let's hope GP is able to continue this trend! Best Blomman

Tough decision... I would say the Constant Escapement 46 mm. This one, as well as the Neotourbillon, haunt my dreams... Best, Nicolas

CE 46mm is an excellent choice! Wonder if we will see another Neo this coming year...? Best Blomman

Throwback Thursday – 1960 Girard-Perregaux Watch Holders

Friends, Before the holiday’s we have time for one more “Throwback Thursday”! Today I like to share some of my vintage watch holders. Before I start; we all know that the GP colour is blue… And what the colour represent! You might remember I told you that during a period Girard-Perregaux used green? I still don’t have conclusive hard proof of when exactly it started or when it ended… But, I do know that sometime in the end of 1950s and beginning of 1960s, GP used green as their signal colour! These watch holder are from that time. The Green Lantern (for size reference) is not matching in number of jewels or in year (1976), but in colour! Found in Sweden, English text: notice the “ROLLER BEARING”. Next, found also in Sweden, but with German text.
