The SIHH 2010 is sure to be a grand event full of brilliant watches. The brand new Girard-Perregaux 1966 Collection chronograph watch is likely to be one of the most brightest models among them. Classic design, strong movement, and extreme elegance consist the reasons.

As the newest member of the vintage Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection, the novel watch is finely dressed in a round polished case made of 18K rose or white gold. The streamlined case embraces a white dial with a plain and simple design. Two subdials symmetrically lie on the central zone of the dial: a 30-minute chronograph at 3:00 and a second counter at 9:00. It is highly harmonious that the rose or white gold tone in the bezel, markers and numerals, the white color of the dial, and the black track of the tachymeter scale contrast finely with each other. The heat-blued second hand add kind of smartness to the overall design. Beside the case is a delicate gold winding crown and a pair of push-pieces.
The new GP watch comes with a black leather watch, equipped with a rose or white gold buckle. It is water-resistant to 30 meters, and the protection is provided by sapphire crystals.

Inside the watch is a 23.68 mm GP030C0 automatic column-wheel chronograph movement. It was exclusively available for GP’s ladies timepieces. And the new Girard-Perregaux 1966 Collection chronograph watch, with its 40mm case, is certainly a men watch. Is it the so-called neutral style? The watch undoubtedly forms an unique reversal for the velvet glove. I am looking forward to its performance in Geneva, Switzerland on 18 January 2010, where and when the SIHH 2010 will be held.
