Girard Perregaux

One of my grails. Not the most refined in terms of movement, but what a watch! A Foudroyante and a Rattrapante, that's not something you often see. Yes, a big love affair with that one. Alas not mine. Best, Nicolas ...  

I certainly would not mind to have this one in my collection!

I quite like the back too, but not because of the extra platinum! 😉

but this one is quite temperamental. I had its Ti sibling but keep having issue with the foudroyante hand, even after factory intervention. Regards, Goh ...  

Did GP explain what was the underlying issue?

In my case, the foudroyant hand wasn't moving freely/consistently at the 1/8 sec rate... at times, it would be stuck at a spot for split-second or for a few seconds.

But the underlying drive wheel. Same issue as what my buddy had on two separate 9020s.😳

the 9020 from our lists …. 😝

He has had two 9020’s and both also had problems with Foudroyante hand as well. He said when his watch maker opened it up, it was the Foudroyante wheel had had cracked. It’s made out of aluminium and he is not sure if it was damaged because of excessive w... 

So the 9020 is a reference they can be confusing (to me at least). Seems like there was more than one LE with the ref 9020. One was a batch of 250 and another was a batch of 100? If you happen to know more about this, appreciate it if you could share more... 

But I am unsure about the exact split between the black and white dials.

Perhaps someday, when everything is in alignment. 😉 Tfs. Nico. Geross.
