Baselworld 2014: Girard-Perregaux, what a spectacular year!
Baselworld 2014 was an average year in my point of view. We will come back to this later. Having said that, a few big brands managed to propose a very solid 2014 collection. And among these brands, Girard-Perregaux was without any doubt, maybe with Blancpain, the most active and creative one.
There is a lot to say about this collection but in the meantime, I propose you some pictures to enjoy!
Of course, the most impressive watch was the Tri-Axial Tourbillon. The behaviour of the Tourbillon can be easily observed and more important, the speed of the third axis makes it very impressive. I already saw several but this one has a very stunning pace.
Getting closer...
And even closer:
The Neo-Tourbillon is at the end more important in my point of view since it embodies a new stylistic approach:
The Constant Escapement comes with a PG case:
New dial, slight changes for the 1966 Minute Repeater Annual Calendar. The new dial improves the perceived quality:
New colours are available for the Sea-Hawk:
Important news, a bracelet is now available for the Sea-Hawk. It was expected by numerous customers.
This Vintage 1945 without dial is a true beauty... totally unexpected for me!
I could appreciate the blue dial of this version:
A new and practical complication for the 1966. The watch is nicely made but lacks of spice...
It is not the case of the Traveller Tribute John Harrison! With its second time display, the name of the collection becomes logical!
And... ladies were not forgotten with new versions of the Cat's Eye... the Anniversaire (left watch) is spectacular!
These pics are just a quick overview and the full report will be published later.
Thanks to the Girard-Perregaux team for the warm welcome.

Thank you, Fx for these wrist shots! :)
Yes, this is an excellent year for GP! And as shown in your photos - we will have a lot to talk about here in the forum this year... :) Best and again, thank you! Blomman
Thanks Blomman!
You are right, it will be a very active forum this year... well, it is already the case! Fx
The Vintage 45 open dial is a cool surprise! Wow! Love it!
What size? Looksl like it is a XXL case, if I compare it with the blue dial. One I don't like is the MR...I much prefer the sober one, which was unveiled 2 years ago. Which I found very attractive. Best, Nicolas
Yes it is a XXL case.
I much prefer this version of the MR, the applied figures are a great addition IMHO. Fx
Your pictures
do much more justice to this year's GP novelties than official press release ones Pair of vintage 45 are my winners I LOVE them Sincerely D
Yes it is a very charming piece...
You remove something and a very classic watch becomes very contemporary! Fx
Nice year for GP..indeed..even if..
it didn t always meet the expectation… The tri axial is ok…..well in the wonder watches category of course,but somehow….dull..The tourbi is good,a collaboration of GP ,but the dial layout is not stunning. The neo tourbillon is nice ,but it would deserve a...
Thanks Mo.
I think that PG is a perfect case for the Neo Tourbillon. It creates a great contrast with the bridges and the PG & grey atmosphere is one of the trends of the last years. It is also a way to remind the roots of GP. Fx
A lot of news...
A lot of your photos I see first time and a few surprises I find. Not all convince me from a first look, my highlights are: Blue Dial Vintage 45 Jewellery Cats Eye I also like the coloured Hawk diver with the rubberized bezel and the blue dial. I think th...
Thanks for your comments!
In a way, I understand them. But these pieces have several objectives: to explain to a large audience that GP is a creative and skilled manufacture and that they removed the dust on the collection. I think it is important for them to kill this feeling tha...
The whole collection is stunning
There are simply a few pieces to look at. Great innovation and great job from GP
Thanks Terenceho.
I was not seduced by everything but the collection was very solid with some spectacular pieces. Thanks! Fx
