Girard Perregaux

Hello Girard-Perregaux fans, A newbie here taking his first trembling steps into the brand! If I understand correctly GP started to make the Gyromatic model in the beginning of 1950. 1951 Many different shapes and models have been produced under the name ...  

All original as well, except the minute hand, but I found the solution... There are not many Vintage GP I am considering, maybe 5 or 6, but each of them is very dear to my heart. Congratulations on such a nice catch! Best, Nicolas ...  

Thank you, my firned! And what a welcome - That is one Gyromatic I would love to add... May I ask size and year? Best Blomman

As for the Dauphine hand ( minute ), I have to go at the GP Manufacture. One set is waiting for me, there... Best, Nicolas.

Thank you for the info. Best Blomman

The inverted applied arrows... Not impossible, but not easy. I do like a lot the one featured on the ad, 39 jewels, round one. That was what I was looking for, initially, but when i fell on this one, well, I just couldn't resist. Best! Nicolas

The story of my life! ;) Yes, I like that one a lot ! Have been keeping my eyes open for one, last few years... But they are hard to find in good condition. Best Blomman

There are a lot for sale, but the condition is most of the time so so... But what an interesting hunt! Very happy to see you hunting here, too. Best, my friend. Nicolas

Nicovlad, The dark silhouette behind you is not your shadow... It's me! ;) Best Blomman

That GP exhibits very nice, balanced features, but also intrinsic values, it appears. ( Here speaks a total newbie to GP, though..) ;) Reminds me on the art of more being, than show-off. Happy for you, mighty Viking ! Best, hs :)

under the radar! :) Thank you, my friend! Newbie here as well, but trying to learn... A brand with a rich history - Time to go back to school! ;) Best Blomman

.. but as happeb to know you, you might be a good scholar & pupil, but a very naughty boy.. So , your knowledge will skyrocket pretty quickly, AFAIK, based on your JLC, Rolex and else history ! :) best, hs

You need to visit Argentina. There is a flea market there, San Telmo, where I saw dozens of Gyromatic watches. Congratulations. GP has a very interesting story and the Olimpico line has chronographs to die for. Cheers, Nilo

But would love to go! Thank you, Nilo - yes, a lot to discover here! :) Best Blomman

Very nice looking example, and, if my experience is a reasonable guide, I expect that you will find the accuracy (once serviced) to be excellent. Cheers, Tony C.

Thank you, Tony! :) Yes, even before service it is very reliable. Please show us some of yours here! Best Blomman

Finding a gold Chronometer HF is pretty special. Is it a Calibre 32A? The coin edge bezel is unique to the gold Ref 8795s

The gyromatics are a perfect addition to any collection and you have added a stunning example to your collection Kevin

bloody hell you and Nico together in vintage GP world there is nothing to look forward any more :( :) Great catch my norther great hunter friend Congrats Damjan

I just nicked this and will probably not go too deep into the brand... Probably... ;) Hope to see you soon, my friend! Skål! Blomman

Best D

When Blomman starts, he doesn't have rest till he ends... Best, Nicolas ...  

One day I hope you will be able to find an Observatory model like mine with both tags, both boxes and all papers. I found a set and it is the highlight of my collection.

Congrats! Could you please post a better photo of the watch? Thank you. Best Blomman

Thank you for sharing! Best Blomman

......i am more than suspecting a theme here now! A superb addition to your collection....a cross-manufacture theme and a very interesting and attractive watch. I am....jealous. I love this GP of yours ....congratulations

Yes, my friend - the Anti-magnetic is a theme I have been working on cross-brands for some time now... GP Gyromatic, Omega Railmaster, IWC Ingenieur, JLC Geophysic... + Some other brands... Thank you, Baron. To me the early Anti-magnetic are fascinating, ...
