...as a whole is quite attractive.  With the addition of palladium now there are even more options to love.

I had the pleasure of seeing the following pieces in the metal last week. First up is my favorite from Girard-Perregaux's 1966 Collection, the palladium Small Seconds. Sorry for all the plastic-covered movement shots! I absolutely love how Girard-Perregau...  

All are beautiful but among all of them, I fear my choice won't be original.

Tourbillon under 3 Goden Bridges... There is another one wich is haunting me, and maybe did you see it? The World Time Tourbillon, with the tourbillon in the case back, a plain dial, with the WT complication, of course, and just a small second at 6. If I ... 

I didn't see the world timer tourbillon...

...but the Tourbillon with Three Bridges is quite lovely. A good choice for you, Nicolas! The distinctive tri-bridges cannot be mistaken. The watch is elegant, but also has a certain boldness that is hard to explain. A unique luxury watch. Cheers, Daos

Ok, Daos... I have something for you.

And now, what do we do? Best, Nicolas...  

Well...

...it is a perfect Vlad watch...world timer, tourbillon, distinctive bridges. Aren't these all things loved by Vlad? LOL! Cheers, Daos

You know what?

YES! VLAD, the Tourbillon Impaler.

Yes please to all. But if forced to choose one, I would choose the 1945 assuming it fits my wrist. Thanks for the post. Regards, Richard.

The dial on the 1945 XXL is just dreamy.

The sheen and depth of the dial has to be experienced to fully appreciate it. The watch was too large for me, but perhaps you could pull it off! Cheers, Daos

...those were all the pictures I got, Ed! Next time! Cheers, Daos

Definitely the 1945

I just love the rectangular case on the 1945. And that dial has enough features to present a "just right" look for a complication - not too simple, and not to congested. Thanks, Daos, for your most informative post. Really enjoyed reading it .

Thanks, Frederick!

The dial on the 45 XXL is so perfectly executed. It could've gone all wrong in presenting all that info. but instead the dial is very harmonious! Thanks for looking! Cheers, Daos

Drooling!!!

Hi, Daos! You and Jed were super lucky to get this private viewing of these stunning watches! DidnĀ“t you just love the micro rotor in the Three Bridge Tourbi? It is a wonderful detail (among a watch filled with them), just to see it swirl underneath one o... 

Hola, Alex! Thanks for reading!

I love these 1966 Collection pieces in palladium. The colors are stunning in person. The XXL was too large for me too. If they made that dial in a regular 1945 case I'd be sorely tempted! The Three Bridges tourbis are always lovely to see in the metal! Ch... 

exquisite

the palladium 1966 is refinement made manifest! GP's 1966 is yet another piece that is on my shortlist... thanks for sharing Jason
