Shot of the day: The GP 1966 Minute Repeater, Annual Calendar, Equation of Time

Friends,

 

I am currently working on all the photos I took at the Salon Belles Montres and I realized that

A/ I took no photos of the environment or the displays.

B/ I did not have time to go to all the manufactures. In fact, I only went to the GP booth.

But it was well worth it!

Here is one of the watches I got to see and even more importantly – hear!

The GP 1966 Minute Repeater, Annual Calendar, Equation of Time.

 

 

The dial is just stunning and it is even better in real!

More to come…

Always a pleasure to listen to it. The richness of the notes is excellent. So, 1966 MR " only " for me. Make it in white metal, and I am in heaven. ;) Best, Nicolas

You know my preferences....

I like simplicity! But I must confess that I was captivated by this dial! The design and decoration works very well here! :) Best Blomman

1/ how is the Perpetual Cal handled and set ? - extra pushers or maybe a central mechanism, an approach I love in JLC PC's 2/ how would you rate the sound spectrum/ volume of this MR ? - Is it a hammer system or Trebouchet and on case or on separate part ... 

Thanks, for info.. If Annual Cal, then single crown op or individ pushers..

.. What I meant, are all indications ( date, month, weekday) handled each separately ? - or maybe by only one crown ( which I doubt); - but AFAIK, JLC does for some of their PC's Sorry to insist, wasn't quite clear to me.. Thx in advance & Best, hs

Nicolas already answered, but here....
