Girard-Perregaux, Tourbillon Bi-Axial tantalum, Reference: 99810-81-000-BA6A

Friends, As you know I had the opportunity to visit the Manufacture a couple of months ago. When you visit a Manufacture, doesn’t matter which one, there are a couple of “mandatory” stops on the way that you have to do. One of them is the “collection show...  

This watch have very little to do with "normal"watches

 
 By: moc : June 2nd, 2014-02:33
I had the possibility to see it , try it and admire it more than once, it's the coolest watch I ve seen in a while. Sorry blomman but this watch has nothing to do , even remotely , with the "black watches" category; tantalum is a material that is hard to ... 

Agree, not a "black watch"!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : June 2nd, 2014-13:42
The tantalum do not fall into that category! I find the material spellbinding... I don't know how many times/hours I have been looking at this watch... Often it takes me a long time just to pass the case and start look on the dial/movement! Such a stunnin... 

Not for everybody....

I think this is a watch you either love or hate - but either way, you can't deny its coolness! :) Best Blomman

It is amazing

how this watch "transforms" once on wrist On static shot is very no no for me but once on wrist is so so inclining to I need to try it or maybe I'm just in love with you :) :) ;) Best D

I am blushing, my friend! ;)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : June 2nd, 2014-13:50
If you have a chance - you should try it on! Up close it looks like a lethal weapon, but on the wrist - it's Super Cool! :) Best, dear Damjan Blomman

Bruce Wayne Edition :-)

 
 By: SALMANPK : June 2nd, 2014-06:10
Does it come with a Kevlar re-enforced strap? :-) very cool piece. S

Damn! One more on my grail list :)

any idea on the retail price?

A dealer near me has it.....

 
 By: WHL : June 2nd, 2014-11:44
and it is $484,750. Though my favorite of the haute horlogerie piece from GP right now is the 1966 Minute Repeater......and it's only a (large) fraction of the price of the bi-axial! Bill

Agree on the MR 1966, Bill!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : June 2nd, 2014-13:54
That is a fantastic watch as well, and maybe more watch for the money (depending on what you are after)... But, it's not a Batman watch! ;) Best Blomman

Not in standard... But, the Batman edition does! ;)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : June 2nd, 2014-13:52
Yes, this is a "Dark Knight" watch! :) Best Blomman

Another modern interpretation of the Tourbillon with bridges.

 
 By: amanico : June 2nd, 2014-08:35
And this one works for me too. The tantalum case, this inimitable color, which blends grey and grey blue, the dark dial, and the density of the Watch, without forgetting the magic of the dancing Tourbillon, all that contributes to the fatal appeal of this... 

Why so serious?! ;)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : June 2nd, 2014-14:06
Honestly, I started to write this review as a "normal" review, but each time I looked at this watch.... The only thing I could think of was the feel it gave me! But even if my thoughts might be a bit "quirky", the photos talks for them self - this is a ki...  

Lethal attraction! ;) [nt]

Goodness, this piece would make one proud as a GP moderator!

 
 By: Echi : June 3rd, 2014-00:56
Fantaaaastic piece!!! I like how you described the gold on the tourbillon as an all seeing eye that never rests. Honestly, this piece just blew me away. I thought it was hard to top the Laureato 3 bridges but the bridges on this one is very very intriguin... 

As a GP moderator I am ...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : June 3rd, 2014-03:19
Very proud! Not only because of all the fantastic watches offered by GP, but mostly because of the great community that we have here! :) Thank you for your input, Echi - I will come back to this watch for sure! Best Blomman

handsome piece indeed

thx for sharing:) cheers, ed~

My pleasure, Ed! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : June 3rd, 2014-12:32
This watch is "eating my brain".... Why should it not take a bit of yours...! ;) Best Blomman

OK, I have a favorite new GP.

 
 By: MichaelC : June 6th, 2014-20:37
This is awesome!! The tantalum case really makes it for me, and lends the watch a much more "conceptual" look. Great photos, love this watch!

You and me both, Michael...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : June 7th, 2014-01:24
Yes, a killer watch! :) Thank you for you input. Best Blomman

Yes, one of the details that...

Really blow me away! Love it! :) Best Blomman

Yes, lethal in every sense! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : September 9th, 2015-13:50
Thank you, Bill! Best Blomman

Well, what should one add, that hasn't been mentioned during this thread.. Yes: Stealth & Black Knight come into my mind !.. ;))

 
 By: hs111 : September 9th, 2015-00:38
Other than that it\'s a pretty unique modern incarnation within the 3-Bridges Tourbi Series from GP.. - Of course I love the 2+1 Bridges, and the effects of this amazing Tantalum case vs Bridges & hands, also the way the few gold components help to genera... 

It's a bargine! ;)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : September 9th, 2015-13:51
HS, when it comes to this level of watches.... You don't even look at the price tag! ;) Best Blomman

The Bi-axial Tourbillon

 
 By: crown comfort : September 9th, 2015-02:38
is such a cool watch. I prefer this one very much over the Tri-Axial Tourbillon. The Tantalum case is a perfect match to the design of the Tourbillon. CC

Same for me.....

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : September 9th, 2015-13:52
Two axis is enough for me in this case! ;) Best Blomman

Thank you for the compliment, Chris! :)

Happy you like this non orthodox style! :) Best, my friend Blomman

A bullet stoping, radioactive, target searching watch: GP seems to do all right!

What a review, what a watch and what a GP! Bravo to all of you! Many thanks Moritz

Thank you, Moritz! :)

Indeed a bullet proof watch! :) Best Blomman
