2024 Novelty: Girard Perregaux Free Bridge Meteorite.
Apr 16, 2024,09:43 AM
Here we have a cool iteration of the Neo Bridge, called Free Bridge.
With a totally different design.
The case is in steel, 44 mm big, 12, 20 mm high. But the true novelty rests upon the dial.
There are two meteorite plates, one on each side of the watch, then, there is a central bridge, which is in fact a marquetry of 2 pieces of meteorite. First time I see that.
The movement is the Cal GP 1800-285 with a silicon escape wheel and pallet lever. This movement is 36 mm big and offers a power reserve of 54 hours.
I find this watch quite cool, even if it comes at a certain price ( around 22, 000 CHF ).
