Day 3 - Visit to Girard-Perregaux
Page 4
We were joined at the reception by other members of the company's management team, including Mr. Stefano Macaluso.
...and now on to some of the extraordinary watches. First, the Opera Three. Note the tiny music box-style cylinder in the movement. The cylinder's small pins strike the teeth to create notes and play a musical tune. The cylinder can be customized to play any of a number of musical pieces.
The Tourbillon Magistral. Complications include tourbillion, hour-strike ‘au passage’, retrograde calendar with 95 hour retrograde power reserve indicator
The ww.tc with tourbillon
Perpetual calendar chronograph in Vintage 1945 case.
Trays of specialties.
Jackson Wei, Chris Ip, Alec Dawson and Jonathan Ziegler examine part of the collection.
Patrice Mangum tries on one of the Cat's Eye ladies watches.
Additional pieces in the collection.
One of my favorite chronographs.
The massive Sea Hawk II.
...and the beautiful 1966.
And if having the opportunity to see all these incredible watches in person was not enough, we moved on to view some of the JeanRichard collection as well.
