One of my favorite Railroad watch: Girard Perregaux Railtimer.

Not mine alas, but this is the kind of watches I am running after for a long time, now. Such as the Zenith Sibling, the Omega and the Longines. A superb theme to explore! Best, Nicolas

Girard Perregaux vintage Railtimer... Still on the hunt on this one.

What a beauty! One of my quests... I dream of a small collection of Railtimers: This GP, the Zenith, the Omega, the Universal Genève and the Longines. THAT would be as terrific as it is highly challenging. Best, Nicolas
