As we all know Girard-Perregaux has always been one of the innovative Manufactures from La Chaux-de-Fonds and this year is no exception.

Girard-Perregaux shows a variety of Haute Horlogerie at its finest!

We will of course get more into details about all the different watches, but here is a brief overview of the collection that will be presented this week in Basel by GP.

Neo-Tourbillon with three bridges – A classic goes high-tech!

none 

Bridges in modern design, inspired by framework of real bridges, PVD treated titanium.
Satin polished pink gold case, 45mm in diameter and 14.45mm high.
Movement, 245 parts of which 80 goes to the Tourbillon cage (weight 0.25g!), diameter 36.60mm and height 8.21mm.
27 jewels, Power reserve minimum 70 hours.
Automatic movement beating in a frequency of 21,600 vph/ 3 Hz.
Functions: Tourbillon, hour, minute, small second on the Tourbillon.

Tri Axial Tourbillon – A Tourbillon in three dimensions

none 

A high-speed tourbillon on three separate axes.

Axis 1: one revolution in 2 minutes, Axis 2: one revolution in 30 seconds, Axis 3: one revolution in 1 minute. With the Tourbillon cage actually rotating partly above the dial, this is the perfect Tourbillon for one to admire.

 

Brushed bezel and polished pink gold case, 48mm in diameter and 14.45mm high.
Movement, 317 parts of which 140 goes to the Tourbillon cage (weight 1.24g), diameter 36.10mm and height 16.83mm.
34 jewels, Power reserve minimum 52 hours.
Manual winding movement beating in a frequency of 21,600 vph/ 3 Hz.
Functions: Tri-axial Tourbillon, off-centered hours and minutes power reserve indicator.

Constant Escapement L.M. Pink Gold – Constant force

none 

Last year’s groundbreaking news - the Constant Escapement L.M. is back in a pink gold version.

Innovation at its finest. The Constant force achieved in this movement is mesmerizing! To look at silicon moving in a constant flow is hypnotizing… 

Aiguille d’Or of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève!

 

Again a combination of brushed and polished pink gold case, 48mm in diameter and 14.63mm high.
Movement, 271 components, manual winding movement, frequency of 21,600 vph/ 3 Hz.
Diameter 39.20mm and height 8.00mm.
28 jewels, Power reserve 6 days!
Functions: Off-centered hour, minute, central second, linear power reserve indicator.

Traveller WW.TC Pink Gold – The World is not enough

none 

GP continues their tradition of World time watches. This super elegant travel watch with a lot of classic design elements and flair of the past just makes you want to pack your bags and go….

none 

Comes with two different dials, opaline and silvered opaline.

And one opaline version, hand-polished white mother-of-pearl background, 73 sapphires (0.36 ct). Well, and let’s not forget the 62 brilliant-cut diamonds set (0.85 ct) around the bezel on each…

What catches my eye? The black-dial traveller.....that is a beautiful watch. For me, its a shame it is not in white gold or steel as I tend to err away from the yellow metal....but still, that is a beauty.
