Well, every year, GP has something interesting and exciting to offer.
Minute Repeater, Chronograph, Constant Escapement, Tourbillon- simple or mutli axis-with gold(en) bridge(s), their high end offer is at the level of the finish, amazing.
You'll see, te GP forum will be fed with a lot of interesting topics all along the year.
All the best!

My Baselworld 2014 selection
During the Fair we had a lot of discussion about our feelings and we were many of us rather disappointed by the 2014 collections. To be more precise, we are in the same trend than during the SIHH: very controlled offers from the large brands which want to...
GP is a clear winner for me. Their collection, in the high end segment, is superb.
The Longines is very cool, too. Very well done. And quite daring to offer this Watch in such a reasonable diameter. BRAVO! Best, Nicolas
+1 on both counts nico, i too think GP this year outdid themselves
and I was also taken by the longines Heritage 1935

GP has a strong collection in the high end segment.
When it comes to the other side of the collection, there were several nice pieces but once again, the most difficult challenge is still here: to be able to create a true "hit" watch which is affordable. But things are progressing and are on the right path...
Agreed. There are some nice possibilities, when you consider the 1966 and Vintage 45 Line.
For example, the Blue Vintage 45, or the open dialed sister, woudl be perfect with the smaller case. Not convinced by the Traveller, sorry to say. I will elaborate my point soon. The Sea Hawk was a good surprise, much better in the real than on pictures. ...
KV and DB hands down for me
Many thanks for your very nice and original selection, Forvesta.
Wow, had not seen the piece from Kari
That is just stunning! Any chance you have a picture of the reverse? Thanks for the great pictures - tons of beauties in this set!
Thank you! Speechless...
What can one say here? Total perfection, wow. Thank you Fx for sharing!!!
Hopefully, independents are here
As I said on another thread, I think that Independents occupy a bigger and bigger room in watchmaking today, may it be on an aesthetical or a mechanical standpoint. One point I wouldn't be following you that much is that I think this year was a very inter...
Thanks Mark!
Of course, independents bring their energy and creativity. But we don't have to forget the large brands which "do" the market. Actually, it needs both sides of the coin. We will have interesting discussions! Fx
I agree with almost all your selection..Kari just sublime but De Bethune..
Won 2014 offerings again and again…best brand of this year without a shadow of a doubt… coming from me? surprising hu? Great taste FX! Mo
GP, KV and DB for me
But the DB29 takes the cake, and eats it too! I really hope that unsigned dial makes it to final production in both the DB28 and 29. Pure stealth!
Thanks Secretlife! To be honest with you...
I preferred the chronograph only version... Fx
KV is the winner for me.....
Always look forward to this post! I would agree that this year has been a bit underwhelming, however the KV is sublime. Probably my favorite piece so far. Also, while I know the watch has generated a bit of controversy, I would also put in a vote for the ...
Interesting choices from one vantage point
Thank you for an eclectic mix. Can the Lang & Heyne watch be customised to about 12 named persons' to show their age? Regards, MTF
I like Ban Ki Moon...
but if I order this watch, I think that I would change these data... of course you can personalize it, hopefully! I can imagine your wife's reaction if you don't put her data in this watch, LOL! Fx
Finally a wristwatch that immediately and directly punishes...
a promiscuous lifestyle ;-) Cheers, Magnus
Thank you, Fx!
Good to see the Neo-Tourbillon among your selection! :) The Longines is a very positive surprice here. Best Blomman
Nice choices FX...
just that GP 3 Bridges doesn't work at all for me. 3 Bridges à la MB&F..... Too strange for me. Don
Thanks Don!
It was a pleasure to meet you several times in the corridors. About your remark, I understand it but it is important for GP to find a new style: they need it. Fx
Be Bethune for me please...
I have no idea about the price. Can you enlighten me please? Of course if site rules allow it. Regards, Constantin
Thanks, Fx!
.. impressed by DB and Longines classic! Many thanks for your great job, as always! Ken
