GP and me. 2014 was a great year.
2014 allowed me to live one of my dreams... Blomman and myself were invited to visit the Manufacture... Which makes me think that I have to post the article on that visit!
Then, I could give my beloved Gyromatic for a well deserved service, and find a correct set of hands for that Watch.
I could also discover some nice watches, and have some new obsession, in the current production, such as the Sea Hawk Blue Cobalt, and the Constant Escapement.
And, for 4 years now, giving some serious wrist time to my adored Vintage 45 Chronograph.
Yes, it has been a very good year. And, cherry on the cake, we have found a great Moderator, for the brand, with Blomman. Without forgetting some nice guests, such as Crown Comfort!
My 2014 Retrospecitve in a few pictures.
Vintage 45 Chrono in Neuchâtel:
Vintage Gyromatic, totally serviced and with the correct hands. A Watch very dear to my heart.
My latest obsessions...
Sea Hawk Blue Cobalt:
And the breathtaking Constant Escapement.
No doubt that 2015 will offer us its lot of good surprises.
Best,
Nicolas

Totally under the radar, this Chronograph...
Which deserves more attention and recognition.
Count on me for that.
As for Blomman, it a gift from God.
Best,
Nicolas
Inspiring post
I am looking forward to it... Vintage and or modern, I still don't know.
But something tells me I will have a third one.
Thank you, CC.

About Girard Perregaux...
Thanks for your feedback, Fabio. Yes, they are very open minded, at GP.
I will post my report as soon as possible, but it was a great moment. And you know, when I read my first GP Catalog, which was a long time ago, I had the secret dream to visit them.
When your ream comes true, it is always magic!
Best,
Nicolas.
Love that Vintage 45 Chrono.. Another connoisseur's piece !..
.. Guess this one plus a nice blue-dialled Chronometre HF,
that would do it for me ..
Indeed, I got interested quite a bit, meanwhile.
- We'll have to see ..
Sounds like a lot of potential for a prosperous 2015 !!
Best, hs
That would be a delicious start into GP world, my dear friend.
A brand to enjoy without moderation. But with a Moderator.
Best,
Nicolas
It was a geat pleasure to visit the Manufacture together with you, my friend! :)
Let's hope that we can do it again, my friend.
That would be fantastic.
I would dream to get my third GP. I will work on that.
And I am expecting some new marvels from our beloved brand.
A full program!
Best, my dear friend.
Nicolas
Yes, let's try to make plans for that! :)
