SIHH 2018 Novelty: Girard-Perregaux Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges Skeleton

After we have seen already a number of new exciting releases, it is time to introduce the Girard-Perregaux Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges Skeleton.

The novelty revolves around the word “Skeleton”. We are familiar with the Neo Bridges for a while and it remains a perfect modern interpretation of the classic iconic three bridge design, like the pink gold Neo Tourbillon.

Now Girard-Perregaux has added a third version in addition to the pink gold and black Neo Tourbillon. It comes in a white metal case (polished Titanium) something we have been wishing for.

The movement however has been completely revamped. The Neo Bridges are still there but the base plate has disappeared and we can now admire the entire mechanism in this translucent look.

This is my favourite new release this year and soon I hope to provide more details and a thorough review.

I saw it and my main issue about this watch remains the same. There’s too much empty space for me below the tourbillon, between 5 and 7, compared to the other sections of the watch even if I fully understand that the tourbillon has to be the star here Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks Alkiro. Hmm, perhaps using some spray tan on your wrist to minimise the effect?

I’m thinking about the possibility to tattoo a 4th black skeleton bridge on my wrist to compensate this empty space 😂 Best wishes Alkiro

SIHH 2018 Novelty: Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Tri-Axial Tourbillon (99830)

Bringing to us the Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Tri-Axial Tourbillon, GP this year again has an exceptional mechanical complication for us at SIHH 2018. Last year we had the Tri-Axial Tourbillon Planetarium and the year before the Minute Repeater with Tourbillon under Bridges. This year, GP really topped that by combining a Minute Repeater with the Tri-Axial Tourbillon. It is much closer in looks to the Minute Repeater with Tourbillon under Gold Bridges.
