Very interesting post, Blomman. The care of the details is something very strong at GP.
I always admired that, on their watches.
The epitome is certainly held by these Tourbillons with bridges. Arched, superbly polished, these bridges are challenging. But the rest of the dial, too.
The back... Less, but since the movement is dial side... It is logical.
No, these GPs are just breathtaking.
So, you achieved one of your dreams?
Best,

The Light and the Space of the Girard-Perregaux Three Golden Bridges 99280
Friends, “I saw the light” … Often when we approach watches, we zoom in on details or objects that are possible to take on, to touch. But when it comes to the Girard-Perregaux Three Golden Bridges reference 99280, I think the big difference is in things w...
This arched bridge version of the Three-Golden Bridge Tourbillon
is currently my favourite of them all. And the light plays a significant part in that. Yes, it's a lot of pink gold on the wrist, but there is so much sophistication presented, it is not the gold that draws attention but the fine architecture and the supe...
Can't blame you....
I would love to have this version! Thank you, my friend. We see so many new watches all the time, so wee need time to digest, to fully understand a watch! Best Blomman
I totally agree. It takes time to fully understand a watch and appreciate all details. That's why we are
so obsessive to own and collect and not just try on for a quick photo.

Not yet, or at least not this dream....
But you know me, I am working on it! As for GP and details - yes, they are masters of that, IMO! Best Blomman
Revelation
...i think sometimes (often, actually) the way to see a watch is not immediately obvious. This is a great review...i love this type of reflection and thinking. It is taking a watch and going deeper into it. Bravo, Blomman.
Very interesting read and interpretation.
Thank you for sharing, my friend. I really like the bridges, the GP Mafia call is strong in this one. I must resist, lest D takes it off my dead wrist.
I really like you but....
Admit it you have an itch now...itch that only bridge can scratch and there is lot of different bridges with GP Cheers D
A Three Golden Bridges would fit very well in your collection, my friend!
And yes, if I wouldn't beat D to it, he would take it off your dead wrist! But let's hope that will be a day very long from now! Best Blomman
Ok, now I am truly afraid.
With both Mr. Blue and Mr. Green threatening me, the GP Mafia coming strong.
Excellent post my friend one I consider education about watches...
an article anyone could read and learn from. Bravo Sincerely D
Only good I hope! ;)
Thank you, that is very high praise coming form you! Best Blomman

Yes, we learn from each other - that is one of the beautiful things with this place! Best Blomman

Happy you liked this post, dear HS!
Yes, sometimes the things that we can't touch are the most important! Best, my friend Blomman
My great pleasure, my friend!
Always interesting and fun to analyse a watch deeper than just the obvious look. Best Blomman
