Many thanks Vte, 40mm is a good size, but I'm also attracted to the 45mm :) [nt]

SIHH 2018 Novelty: Girard-Perregaux Classic Bridges 45mm and 40mm – Live Shots and Review
Let’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 nove...
I feel the 40 mm is the perfect man's watch. I had the pleasure to see it in the metal Very convincing.
At 45 mm, it is big, and I would prefer this size for the Neo Bridges, but in rose gold the smaller, the better for me. Nice review! Best, Nicolas
Perhaps you're right. For me, the proportions of the bridges are better on the 45mm version
but then on the wrist it may be a different story.
Ah, you spotted the mix-up
Yes, it seems there is a mix up on the GP website. They only list the 45mm model on the page, but the photo shown seems like the 40mm version as can be seen on the bridges.
If I have no issue with the 45mm of the Neo Bridges due to its lightness and modern style, I think I would opt for the 40mm version of the Classic Bridges
This latter one is dressier and heavier so this smaller size should be better (at least for me) even if the dial of the 45mm version breathes much better (especially the bottom part). Cruel dilemma! Thank you for this interesting review dear CC. PS: if th...
Another well thought through review!
Thank you, CC for this review! I think you catch many of the key points of this watch and explain them thoroughly! Like you I am a bit torn towards this watch, the mix of modern movement with the classic bridge... Once I had the chance to digest all my im...
Thanks for the kind words, Blomman
and I look forward reading your views on the Classic Bridges. Best, CC
You know how it is....
When you see so many new watches in one go... You need to sort your thoughts before putting them into writing! Best Blomman
One of most amazing array of watches in single post!
Thanks CC and blomman for all the amazing text and pictures. GP is going strong and I'm very happy about it Cheers D
Excellent post, thank you! I can't help but think that the Neo Bridges + 40 mm version would make for a very dynamic duo. ;-) [nt]
The only real hesitation I have for the 45 is how much nicer seems the bottom bridge on the larger model.
Thanks for your views, CJ
hmm, Neo Bridges in 40mm? I think that could work very well
Thanks a lot CC for the presentation.
First of all, I learnt that two sizes were available (I saw only one) and the 40mm version seems to have my preference. Thanks! Fx
Thank you, CC! This one, with 40mm edition, got my attention and I was wondering.....
... how it was. "Three Bridge" has been on my radar for a long time and now this non-tourbillon, relatively affordable model came out surprisingly. Now I have to pray that they will come out with white metal version ) Neo seems a bit too big.... Dillenma!...
Many thanks, Ken.
Yes, bridges without Tourbillon could be very tempting. The only point I don't share: the Neo Bridges is not too big in my view. It works well even on a small wrist and the concept of the watch goes well with the 45mm case. CC
Gotta seriously try it on, then! :-)
.. being without bezel, it may look larger than it actually is.... Ken
