crown comfortLet’s continue with reviewing the Novelties from this year’s SIHH in more detail and let’s look at the Girard-Perregaux Classic Bridges 45mm and 40mm. Many thanks to Blomman again for providing the live shots from SIHH I must openly admit, that was a novelty I did not expect at all.

GP still surprised us though .....">Story

blomman Mr BlueAnother mind-blowing creation from Girard-Perregaux this year is the new version of the La Esmeralda Tourbillon “À secret”! A 44mm creation in Pink Gold, taken to the highest level of finish and decoration. With great dedication to the original Pocket watch La Esmeralda, GP have now made a wrist watch version with the same level of decoration as the original. The finish of the case as well as the bridge arrows and movement is second to none, IMO. Can only imagine the beauty to see the Tourbillon “dance” here! .....">Story

crown comfortAfter 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...">Story

crown comfortBringing 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...">Story
