A superb and very modern face, with a " je ne sais quoi " of tradition, as superb blend. One regret: The size of the case: 48 mm is really huge! Another regrt, or should I say FEAR: The retail. Any idea? Best, and thanks for sharing some exciting news! Ni... 

... but I was reassured that we will see the GP Constant Force escapement in smaller watches in the future. Official pricing has not been released yet, but somewhere in the 100K range would be likely. Andrew

...retail around $100,000 most likely, but exact pricing pending. :-) I love this bold move by GP! Cheers, Daos

Yes, this is the GP I love. But somethng tells me that we'll hve some other excellent surprises, this year... Best, Nicolas

The left is the smaller version and the right is the original. The dial is the same size while the case diameter is now 44mm. I do hope the same or else the only option is steroid injection to the wrist. Regard Tyler ...  

This and the the new JLC Jubilee Perpetual Cylindrique. The price is the part I don't like. LOL Regard Tyler

Another pair would be the EL2 + 3 Sapphire Bridge Tourbillon. ;) Regard Tyler

I have to find where I put the pictures I took of the constant escapement several years ago but I really like this watch. Makes me think a bit to the ChronAP. Fx

... the escapement photos. This piece has had a long gestation and it will be great to see it BaselWorld. I spoke with Stefano Macaluso a couple of weeks ago about the watch and he said that the final watch has evolved significantly even from the prototyp... 

And well... they are not far from being ugly. At least, it is a proof that in 2008, the project was in the pipe! Fx ...  

I have a couple pictures but are not mine.. I am sure they will be here soon enough.

I remember we were talking about this project on the BellesMontres event in Paris 2 years ago. It could be a great improvement, and in a smaller case. Thanks for the news :) Cheers, Mark

I heard of this on a recent trip to the manufacterer and it is great to see it happening.

... and no doubt a technological marvel. Thanks for the report. Aesthetically, at first blush, it made me think of a Ulysse Nardin, but not Girard-Perregaux.

i would rather see one broad arrow bridge rather than somewhat "forced" 3 bridges implemented on the constant mechanism, other than that, great ACHIEVEMENT! looking forward to a more wallet friendly baby version:) CHEERS, Ed

Quite interesting indeed. I can hardly believe it was 5 years ago. amp;fi=636&pi=2560046&ti=426471&msid=&s= Can't wait to see it. Best Dje

With the second-hand at 0, the tail covers much of the magic of the escapement! A

Congrats to GP. Thanks for sharing. Vte :)
