Preliminary impressions - the Vintage 45, curved square case
G'day,
the new Vintage45 found many fans by it´s sublime elegance. It´s remains a key piece for the GP collection and the 2009 iteration brings back a curved dial to match the curved (and new) case and crystal. This time, the hands a curved to allow for easier and more precise reading of the time.
In this, it´s pretty much a square of a circle - a square shaped case, a round dial.
More to come soon!
Cheers,
Peter

Can you elaborate on the curvature aspect.
Hi Peter Thanks for all your efforts in posting the photos and first hand impressions. While going through the press release and your impressions I noticed several remarks with regard to the curved case, hands, dial and sapphire. Could you elaborate how t...
