Girard Perregaux Three Bridges, how do you like them?
With the latest Vintage 1945 70th Anniversary, the Tourbillon Minute Repeater and the Neotourbillon Titanium DLC, we have three different schools, three different approaches of the Tourbillon with Three Bridges. Which is incredible, as we can wonder how m...
Love them all! :)
Thank you for these macros, Nicolas! :) We should not forget some of the other Three Bridges design... The original outer shape of the Three Golden Bridges... Or the Sapphire Bridges? And one I never get out of my mind.... Difficult choice - the satin bru...
The point was to enhance the richness of the decoration in watches from the same year
production. Not many brands can offer that diversity in the high end segment. Best, Nicolas
Ah, you really
want me to say: "I love them all" ? It's too obvious! Now, if I had the money and if that would be money for only one, I likely go with the traditional arrow bridge in white gold like this: And on the wrist: CC ...
I am a sucker for mirror polishing
But, if I were to have a GP three bridge tourbillion, I would want the piece from the late nineties, early 2000. Platinum, round, skeletonized. I can't seem to find an old pix to illustrate one. But the bridges have the high polish anglage also. Oh well, ...
no, it had more openness than this one
there was one in NYC AD, used, but pricing was too high. This was a couple of years ago. Oh, well 2015 offerings have great workmanship on them. best Joe
If.. If it's ok on a pure hypothetical choice.. My 1st is the Vint 45 70th, next the Neotourbillon Ti DLC.. Why ? - Well, two choices of the extremes, somehow.. ;))
Am no gold type, but here, the overall RG with those RG bridges is the " je ne sais pas pourquoi ?" Oh well, and finally - my other real "dream-piece" is the Laureato 3, Tourbillon with the 3 Spinel Bridges, I guess from 2012, AFAIK.. Thx for this great s...
Smart answer to justify this wide choice. And the Spinnel bridge is something I had in
Mind, too, but 3 years older... Best, my friend. Nicolas
From the 3 and it is VERY hard to pick a fave...
Hi Nico, I'd go with the NeoT. The gold on black is very alluring and I really like the sandblasted texture of the bridges. And to think that like most here, I'm not a big fan of "blackened" watches.. Of course, like Blomman, the Laureato sapphire bridges...
Always a pleasure to read you, Echi. GP is top in this segment.
I dream to see these three novelties in the real... I will try to plan something with them as soon as possible, because among the three, the Neotourbillon is the one which intrigues me the most, and the Minute Repeater is the one which captivates me the m...
A milestone into GP watches but...
I think one of the first models of GP I knew in my life was the three bridges. It's almost impossible not to fix your eyes in that watch, but skeletons are not my cup of tea. And that gold on gold results a bit excessive for my taste. According to this an...
Yes, a BIG Milestone in Girard-Perregaux's history! :)
The Three Golden Bridges I would say is the most famous movement from GP! The design and art work used on the bridges has changed over time.... One for each taste! :) Best Blomman
Do you like blondes or brunettes....?
.... Good because I take anything! ;) What movie? ;) Best Blomman
