There is something odd

in the combination of this tourbillon with the 3 bridge design and the design of the rest of the watch, like the hands, and the case. They seem to not fit together but it is done in such a way that it becomes a likeable weirdness. Never knew before that GP has given away the tourbillon movement to another brand, certainly aware of their plain automatic movements in some VCs, Panerais...

Cool find.

An interesting Tourbillon for swimmers. GP / Panerai.

GP / Panerai?? Yes, you read well. There were soem connections between the 2 brands, as GP provided some movements to the italian brand, an Alarm, if I remember well, and... And a Tourbillon with three ( rose ) gold bridges encased in a 42 mm Radiomir cas...  

That is one fat golden bridge ;)

Absolutely bizarre.

I like the case, but the watch is not really a successful pairing of two icons. It could've been done in a compelling fashion, but this is just a mishmash -- and not in a good way! Cheers, Daos

The Purist sentence. I totally get your point.

But you have to go back 15 years ago, at a time where Tourbillons were as rare as a tooth in a hence mooth. ;) It was quite daring, to say the least. Best, Nicolas
