Girard Perregaux

Dear enthusiasts,

with a little delay, here´s all input on all (well, almost...) new models by Girard-Perregaux for SIHH 2009.
As usual, there´s a wealth of news and a feast for the eyes, so please enjoy and click yourself through all 16 new units!
All are great, but my personal recommendations to start with:

- reference 99880 Three Gold Bridges Tourbillon

- reference 99195 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Chronograph

- reference 25835 Vintage45 square new design

- reference 49538 Vintage66 Equation Of Time and Annual Calendar

- reference 49865 WW.TC "small seconds" (you´ll love the look)

Without further ado, here´s the line-up of champs; for all specs, pictures and descriptions please click the link below:

I can hardly wait untill we get to see more about GP's new treasures. Judging from the thumbnails it looks very promising!

a really informative and accessible way to truly appreciate the work, inventiveness and history that GP brings to the art of watch making.
I am personally taken with several of the new offerings, however, the 49930 Fly-back Chronograph Monte-Carlo 1973 represents every element I like in the ultimate car watch. I also appreciate the attention to detail paid to the past car watches and the fact it is in Stainless.
The 99195 Tourbillon with three gold bridges Perpetual calendar and chronograph is one of the most artful and striking uses of complications I have seen in quite a while. I also want to personally thank GP for the use of pink gold, my personal favorite. Thanks again for sharing all the new models and creating such a fine venue to view them all.
Best regards,
Tim

G'day,

i thought it may be interesting to see some of GP´s new models in a larger view, therefore you´ll find some additional press kit images in follow-up posts!
All technical details can be found in the "GP 2009 compendium" above or GP´s most beautiful presentation within the official website (see "SIHH" in the lower right corner).

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Peter

In nature, it´s as beautiful as it´s technically interesting!

 

 

1200 hours of work in these and the most expensive watch by GP ever:

It´s technically interesting, extremely comfortable, understated and a real beauty, much more so in nature!

Cool watch, but I wish it were perpetual.  I would love a GP that looked like a Patek 3940 or something similar.
