Girard Perregaux

Friends, let’s start with coverage of this year’s new releases from Girard-Perregaux at SIHH 2019. As usual, during the show, the booth is very crowded and you don’t really get time to deeply appreciate all the models nor do you have good natural light to...  

.....and many thanks for doing it

The best from GP at SIHH, in my opinion. The movement leaves me a bit underwhelmed, but I guess that's more than made up for in the front.

I'm a bit hesitant to have this open bridge architecture without the Tourbillon complication, but that would be anyhow in another sphere. Let's see if we can top that over the next few weeks

probably need to follow up looking at the watches again outside of the craziness of SIHH for a better understanding and appreciation.

Between the two, I prefer the newer Earth to Sky version. From your photos, it looks like legibility is vastly improved with hands now standing against an all-black background. The details of the bridges and other sttructural elements of the dial are are ... 

I'm sure you will the opportunity to check it out soon in DXB. Legibility is indeed improved, but I also found the older Neo quite legible. CC

Looking much better than on PR material. Thanks for sharing CC Don't looking half bad as I originally recon... definitely piece we should give more time Cheers D

The Neo Bridges is a super cool watch no matter colours! Personally I think I prefer the original version, but hard to tell before seeing it live. Best Blomman

The original is amazing and shows sophistication This one is cool and has some stealthy undertones I would be happy with either But for the long run I would stick with the original

The contrast between light color hands and dark "background" provides better legibility, and the blue touches gives the watch a unique character.

can't really fault either version!
