Post-SIHH Novelty: Girard-Perregaux Quasar
Just 4 weeks after SIHH at the Miami Watches and Wonders, Girard-Perregaux released another novelty from the 2019 collection. The Girard-Perregaux Quasar. It is sitting within the Bridges collection and is a not unfamiliar watch that was released last yea...
Had the pleasure to play with it, too. Spectacular, original, for sure but I still prefer the Neo Tourbillon " Black ".
The reason? Your wrist shots say it all. Seeing through the case, you see a part of the sleeve, and a part of a hairy wrist... Even if both the sleeve and the wrist are among the best I know, this is not something I want to see when I look at such a watch...
Hairy? My wrist? :)))
No, but I'm with you on this. The watch is quite large and high and will not fit under a normal long sleeve shirt cuff, hence it looked like it looked on the photos. The black Neo-Tourbillon is my first choice as well. CC
He he... Yes, black Neo Tourbillon!!! I don't desperate to get one, one day. In my reduction process, 10 watches sold for a monster bought... But I am hesitating a lot between the..

Quasar aka Quasi Stellar Object is
most luminous and powerful and energetic objects in Universe. 1 Quasar can emit 1000x more energy than our entire galaxy Milky Way with some 200 billion stars...now please take a moment and grappa to sink it in ... current understanding is that quasars ar...
I did not expect it to be launched that quickly after SIHH
in general it makes sense to spread the novelties a little bit into the year as all at once may just become too much.
Last year the Titanium version was my absolute favourite from the SIHH!
Here I get the concept of making the watch even more see through... But not sure which one I would prefer... Still the movement is absolutely fantastic, such a beauty! Thank you for showing us this one! Best Blomman
It surely is impressive
the movement now really "floats" inside the case, which is very very cool.
Do you have any side shots?
I think the "float" is very cool but maybe not on the wrist... Best Blomman
