Girard Perregaux

Nothing like a good old book for a comforting read. But which one? This one sounds interesting. I like a good killing with ignominy. Interesting title too. Part One: The Plan Chapter 1: Roseland. "It was a Girard-Perregaux model designed for people who li...  

Naturally, I adore this watch, and miss its presence on my wrist! One of my favorite pieces that I've reviewed. Also, I'm a James Bond fanatic, so this is very much up my alley! Thanks for the 007-meets-GP photo shoot. Very inventive and clever! Cheers, D... 

Those books have been on the bottom shelf for a while and almost forgotten about. I've got 11 of the (14?) novels. Interestingly "From Russia with Love" was the second Bond film but it was published in 1957 as the fifth Bond novel. And yes, the sixth Bond... 

Great idea, wonderful photos, beautiful watch. Even the dates and moonphase coincide. That's what passion is all about. How long have you been cooking this one up? I see that Daos has beaten me to it and given you the GP Masthead. Very much deserved. Than... 

I've had this idea for a while but Cazalea's recent movie contest reminded me of it. Fortunately the reference to GP is on the first page which made my task a whole lot easier. And today is June 10 and the moon really is 3/4 full here in Sydney today/tomo...

Mine is the villain's watch, so that aligns me with SMERSH. You on the other hand, well .... , thank you Mr Bond. Regards, Richard.

Richard, that was genius. You also happen to have one of the nicest watches on this planet. Well done.

Love that 1966--what an incredible set of watches thanks for drawing the appropriate bond passage J

and a great post! Thanks,

I am really, really impressed with the setup, the story, the watch - you didn't get the watch after reading the book? How long ago did you figure it out? Cheers Cazalea ========= Anyone care to sponsor a contest providing mystery / adventure book watch re...  

was part of the original marketing on watch fora if I recall correctly. Now let me think. I read the book in the late 1970s and I bought the watch in the mid-late 2000s so yes, I bought the watch after reading the book. Who says subliminal advertising doe...  

And so what if subliminal requires 40 years to take effect, it worked. Nice job on the Twilight Zone shot. Cazalea PS - I have read every word of all of those books, many twice or three times. Yes, I need to get a life...

Thanks for the story and the great pics of a beautiful watch. Only I wish we could have seen the back of the watch. The movement ! I love to see the movement behind a crystal sapphire, that is where all the action is! Cheers SamEE

the watch and the novel in terms of time, day, date and moonphase. In the end I forgot to take some movement photos. So here's one I prepared earlier: Regards, Richard....
