The Girard-Perregaux BaselWorld 2015 Collection

Mar 18, 2015,11:44 AM

Friends,

This year is the 70 th anniversary of the original GP 1945. I am very happy to announce that GP will have three different Vintage 1945 Anniversary models for us to choose from!

But not only that, a lot more to see and discover this year!

In this post I will present a brief overview of the new collection presented at BaselWorld 2015.

Each watch will also be presented in an official press release, followed by a deeper review of the watch from yours truly including live photos.

So stay tuned! I think this will be yet another excellent year for Girard-Perregaux!

Neo-Tourbillon with Three Bridges and DLC titanium case: Sculpting future time!

Modern lines, Modern materials, honouring Traditional know-how.

You already saw the press release – will soon post live shots and my initial thought on piece!

Cat’s Eye Small Second: Dazzling in every respect!

Beautiful Watchmaking for Her. A feminine creation in pink gold, mother of pearls and brilliant cut diamonds…

Vintage 1945 Small Second: 70th Anniversary Edition

True to the original. Two-tone case in pink gold and steel.

Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges: 70th Anniversary Edition

A dream in pink- and white gold. Tradition at its highest peak!

Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges Gem settings: 70th Anniversary Edition

Chambers of Wonders: Visons of the World through the ages

The master of maps collection. Three watches, three eras, three worlds interpreted with different techniques, in different materials…

The Pearl of Wonders

Terrestrial Map

The New World

Minute Repeater Tourbillon with Gold Bridges: A new approach to the Minute Repeater

Tourbillon, Golden Bridges and Minute Repeater striking mechanism – all on the front side of the watch for you to admire!

OK, my friends – these are the watches that are presented at BaselWorld!

I am sure GP will have even more surprises for us after Basel…

So make sure to visit us here – a lot more to come!

Best

Blomman

Thanks for this quick presentation, Blomman.

There are some VERY exciting watches, here... I saw that they introduced a " Mechanics of Art " with a moonphase, too. And this Vintage 45 70TH birthday with a white metal case only. Tell me, do you happen to know the case size of the 70th birthday in whi...

I am VERY happy with what GP present this year! :)

All details will be provided soon, my friend! :) Best Blomman

Loving what I see....

I told you, Cory....

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 18th, 2015-14:03

This will be a great year! :) Best Blomman

One of best years for GP

By: Ares501 - Mr Green : March 18th, 2015-12:29

if not the best GP year in decade Very happy with novelties Two tone vintage 45 remake is sublime All the best and looking for more Damjan

More to come soon....

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 18th, 2015-14:04

Yes, this year they didn't hold back, that's for sure! :) Best Blomman

Love the line up

By: crown comfort : March 18th, 2015-13:03

the one that speaks most to me is the anniversary Vintage 45 with the two-tone case as the original 2595 as it will be in the affordable category. Can't wait to learn more, case size, movement... CC

Yes, the two-tome looks great! :)

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 18th, 2015-14:07

Normally I not much for two-tone cases... But this one really speaks to me! And when you compare it to the original... :) Best Blomman ...

This is an awesome role model and precursor.. Love this Ss/YG combo ! :)) [nt]

By: hs111 : March 24th, 2015-04:33

.. One Q be allowed : What is the size difference between the Vintage & Modern ? All in all a stimulating & classical appeal, with that aura of timelessness.. Best, hs

Huge. Same than Reverso XGT and a Reverso Classic. [nt]

By: amanico : March 24th, 2015-05:47

Yes, there is a big differance in size...

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 25th, 2015-08:25

outstanding offer from GP: bravo!

By: COUNT DE MONET : March 18th, 2015-13:40

From simple watches to arty watches to top technical watches: GP delivers in all categories. The repeater combined with the Three Bridges is to die for. Best Moritz

The Repeater Tourbillon with gold bridges is a champion.

By: amanico : March 18th, 2015-13:50

Have to hear it, to check how it sounds. Best, Nicolas

Yes, this is a detail....

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 18th, 2015-14:12

That I am also very curious about. I haven't had the chance to hear it yet... But soon, I hope! :) Best Blomman

Soon and together, I hope. ;) [nt]

By: amanico : March 18th, 2015-14:29

That would be the best! :) [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 18th, 2015-22:55

Let's keep fingers crossed for that. [nt]

By: amanico : March 19th, 2015-00:56

If the video demonstrates the pace of the Repeater Tourbillion correctly ...

By: COUNT DE MONET : March 19th, 2015-01:22

... it has already passed one criterion for me. Some repeater are simply too fast and do not give you time to enjoy the strikes in-between. Have not seen all novelties from other brands yet but beside some Breguet novelties this creation from GP could tru...

That is a detail I also appreciate a lot!

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 19th, 2015-04:06

Yes, let's hope the video is true! :) Best Blomman

It's STUNNING and my pick for the show. Thanks GP.

By: cory : March 19th, 2015-11:19

*that one puts the bar super high, I agree. Champion, yes, in my opinion. [nt]

By: amanico : March 19th, 2015-11:54

Yes, this year GP really hit the home run! :) [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 19th, 2015-12:54

I am happy to say that, SIHH and Basel included, for me, GP is the winner. [nt]

By: amanico : March 19th, 2015-13:00

+1000! :) [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 19th, 2015-13:44

Moritz, you sums it up very well! :)

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 18th, 2015-14:10

"From simple watches to arty watches to top technical watches: GP delivers in all categories." Indeed, they deliver all over the spectra! :) Looking forward to show you more! Best Blomman

The cutout space for the small second hand is a very nice touch on

By: Luis6 : March 18th, 2015-18:25

the Vintage 1945 Small Second 70th Anniversary Edition.

Yes, it also shows how doomed the dial really is! :)

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 18th, 2015-22:56

As doomed the case and the crystal ! :) Best Blomman

I see, my friend.. Lots to admire, and also lots for you to comment !..

By: hs111 : March 18th, 2015-23:10

GP on a roll this year!

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 19th, 2015-06:43

I like the 1945 small seconds 70th anniversary edition and the watches with maps on the dials. Is there an Asian map? Thanks for the heads-up Blomman and I can't wait to read more about your report! Cheers robin

Re: "On a roll"!

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 19th, 2015-07:00

Yes, it is very inspiring to see the broad offerings they display this year! :) Look at the press release - there is a map for you, my friend! :) Best Blomman

Yes I think I saw that map :)

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 19th, 2015-19:44

Can\'t wait to see some live pics Cheers Robin

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 20th, 2015-05:03

GP knows our market very well! I am sure it will be popular here Cheers Robin

I bet it will! :) [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : March 20th, 2015-05:28

For me.. Great artisan work.. Compelling aura.. But too much distraction,..

By: hs111 : March 25th, 2015-02:09

.. These are samples of art, no doubt.. GP appears to have put lots of efforts into this years models & great offerings, also just by the mere wigth & depth of their offerings.. - Yet, taken together, again for Humble me almost too much.. But an eclectic ...

Much more on the way, my friend! :)
