But the Minute Repeater was without any doubt one of the key watches of the Fair. The movement is beautiful and technically impressive. Result is an excellent sound quality.
Thanks for the pics.

Great to read your report and see all the live pictures. The blue sapphire Laureato looks much better in the live pictures than in the press photos -- the effect of the blueish tint is much more subtle and pleasing. The 1966 line continues to elegantly im...

What in G-d's name did they do to the chrono???????????? A date? A goofy looking little date window? reminds me of a Hamilton or something... oh no, no, no. I assume this is a second version of the chrono... shaking my head. It's amazing how right a brand...

... to GP for making 38mm model today. Much, much appreciated. Not everyone favors the bigger and thicker watches. Thanks for the report, Z3!

Nice report. Glad to see how GP is "making some noise" again. Always have loved the three bridges Tourbillon movement, it was one of my fav watches for a while, long time ago. The minute repeater looks amazing, the EOT it's a very interesting option. The ...
Three bridge Tourbillons and 1966 repeater
By: nitediver : January 24th, 2012-12:22
The 1966 minute repeater is wonderful. I want to see this piece in metal. And the tourbillons under 3-bridges drive me crazy! Earlier or later, i must get my hands on one of these watches... The Laureato Tourbillon is cool as well. thanks for the report, ...
Thanks Jon

The striking resemblance the 1966 Chronograph has to Patek's 5070, not that it downgrades the watch at all! Something about the space between the case and the actual numbers I reckon... Great report though and lovely photos!
