Girard Perregaux

Recent GP find.. Appreciated encounter with a Crosshair

 

Friends, some few of my dear Purist-friends

know, that I have been looking for a Gyromatic,
Ref 6250 A ,with a special little feature - a Crosshair dial.
This, as Crosshair dials are a little theme in my
stables..

Well, it has taken close to three years until
a good friend ( you know who you are) had 
sourced one and very kindly dropped me 
a line, causing my happy excitement.
But not only that: he helped, as there was some wrong
dysfunctional movement in it, while case & 
dial were superb.
This friend had the kindness to have an original
movement (31.09) from his Gyromatic stock to be
transplanted into, what then became mine.

I am very grateful to him & the happy
restauration of this Gyromatic to a great status 
& being now a humble "member of the GP Crosshair
club", together with Nico, Blomman, CC 
& maybe some others, I yet don't know of..

Well, guess after these a bit lengthy lines,
without further ado, here some initial
shots of this new arrival in my modest
GP family, which I dearly cherish.




Unobtrusive, pure with casual elegance




A quite modest but fine watch from the begin of 60ies




A little cherry on the cake: the Vintage GP buckle




What a nice & clean dial, but with Crosshair refinement




This Gyromatic breathes class, IMHO






This is even a pair of them ( Credit pic: CC; Credits watches: left by hs, right by CC himself) 

Hope you liked this little Crosshair excursion..

Cheers & Best to all ,
hs. smile smile
