Throughout an interview at SIHH 2018 with German watch portal watchtime.internet, Girard-Perregaux‘s Chief executive officer Antonio Calce, spoken about a couple of their new creations, the Laureato Chronograph and also the Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges Skeleton.

The Neo Tourbillon With Three Bridges Skeleton

In unveiling the very first ever skeleton form of its Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges, Girard-Perregaux is showcasing a brand new exercise in horological architecture.

The Neo Tourbillon Watch Review

The Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges Skeleton is crisscrossed with slender black finely rounded bridges. Their curves and cut-outs define the dwelling from the visual effect and support a remarkably slim mechanical structure. The ethereal suspended masses appear truly improbable because of the extreme transparency of the complex caliber. Extended like cables more than a precipice, the bridges from the skeleton caliber really are a nod towards the architecture of the monumental counterparts all over the world. The Millau Viaduct when it comes to its sheer scope the Mohammed Mire bridge in Rabat for that openworked and sensual form of its pylons and also the Oversteek Bruk for that fine feeling of balance it exudes.

The model is presented inside a 45 mm-diameter titanium situation calculating 15.85 mm high. The satin-brushed bombed situation band is distinguished through the total lack of any bezel. Its polished lugs are perched high in situation in order to produce a strong and early inflection. It is primarily the curve that ensures the Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges Skeleton sits so snugly on any wrist, however small.

Covered with azure instead of titanium, the situation is made in order to maximize viewing movement, itself in line with the principle of transparency. The dial-side very is from the glass box type, steeply cambered and convex. It increases vertically in the situation, before altering the position to pay for the center from the watch, just like a protective dome. The caseback very can also be convex, and therefore, when viewed in the side, the Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges Skeleton is really a gang of gray metal having a matt appearance achieved by satin brushing, presented by two azure protrusions.

These scratchproof, complex and chemically pure crystals thus reveal the dwelling from the GP 9400-0011 caliber

The Neo Tourbillon Watch Review

A profoundly revisited form of Calibre 9400. This restructuring mainly includes skeleton working that essentially involves eliminating the baseplate. Nearly as when the ground had disappeared beneath its ft, the movement finds itself suspended between two layers of air. Certain indispensable anchor points remain, however the opaque and solid supporting structure has disappeared. A closer inspection shows the screws holding the openworked, polished and beveled bridges, driven far in to the structure from the caliber. They're such as the abutments of the suspension bridge, offering deep anchorage plus an impressive technical demonstration.

The actual area of the movement baseplate

That is solid on Calibre 9400, is replaced here by two bridges. The second are exactly just like individuals around the dial side: an initial inside a structure according to visible bridges. Both of these bridges would be the counterparts from the gear-train bridge (within the center) and also the tourbillon bridge (at 6 o’clock).
