Girard Perregaux

The 1966 range has been enormously successful for Girard-Perregaux. Combining classicism with modern panache has been a real winner with a series of watches from simple time only to complications such as chronograph, EOT and annual calendar, and a wrist p...  

I know that what you really want is to hear what the 1966 Minute Repeater sounds like. I hope this video gives you a taste, but the subtle overtones and harmonics have to be experienced with the live watch. Enjoy! Andrew

I love everything about it, thank you for your wonderful pics and report. S

I love that watch! We have one that is ALMOST sold, and I am so excited for the buyer. What a special piece, in every sense. Case, dial, movement, sound. It is an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Hi, Looking at your film, it seems indeed to sound nicely. The calibre is really beautiful and at last doesn't look like a pocket watch. Best Dje

I really like the new style bridges.. Nothing like the traditional MPs..

There is a certain Vacheron,( the Skeleton ), a Patek ( whose ref just escapes me: Simple white dial, small seconds, a " parangon of elegance ), the JLC MMR, and this MR from GP. Among the best. Among the most elegant. It was a joy to discover it a bit mo... 

I really appreciated the job done by GP on this Fabrique Du Temps movement. The watch strikes perfectly even if I find it a bit too fast. One of the nicest contemporary MR. Thanks for the presentation! Fx

I love everything in this watch, the case is perhaps too big for me but I have too try it on my wrist as I have noticed in the past that "diameter and looks/feel" are very different from numbers. This is exactly my kind of watch, simplicity and elegance a... 

I had the pleasure of checking one out recently and was very impressed overall; most importantly the sound of the repeater didn't disappoint. Ended up having a sleepless night. :) cheers fernando

Is there another GP model that looks close in appearance (without the great expense and sensitivity of the repeater movement)? I think I can answer my own question: Main Post: Girard-Perregaux 1966 Small Seconds Cazalea

... in a 40mm white or rose gold case. For those who love the look but can’t stretch to the price of the Minute Repeater, the 1966 Small Second is also in this traditional elegant English style that screams history and tradition. Andrew

First and probably the last time I will get to hear the watch chime ! They are so hard to come by. The pause btn hrs and mins is indeed quite apparent ... wonder why that is so ? That 2nd last photo is amazing, as it imparts the layering within the moveme... 

Thank you:)
