SIHH 2018 Novelty: Girard-Perregaux Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges Skeleton

After we have seen already a number of new exciting releases, it is time to introduce the Girard-Perregaux Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges Skeleton.

The novelty revolves around the word “Skeleton”. We are familiar with the Neo Bridges for a while and it remains a perfect modern interpretation of the classic iconic three bridge design, like the pink gold Neo Tourbillon.

Now Girard-Perregaux has added a third version in addition to the pink gold and black Neo Tourbillon. It comes in a white metal case (polished Titanium) something we have been wishing for.

The movement however has been completely revamped. The Neo Bridges are still there but the base plate has disappeared and we can now admire the entire mechanism in this translucent look.

This is my favourite new release this year and soon I hope to provide more details and a thorough review.
