Could it be the famous Golden Bridges that captivate the eye? The kinetics of the tourbillon mechanism that oscillates endlessly? Or the materials that impose their strength and hue in a clever play of chiaroscuro? Cut from rose gold, the case and bridges form a striking contrast with the color of the platinum. Its matte anthracite treatment is the result of a special combination of materials close to platinum, and uses cutting-edge technology. Other components, such as the barrel, lower gear bridge and bridge supports, adopt this finish. The visual effect is astonishing.<br \/>\nA new interpretation of a movement with its origins in the late 19th century, this Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with three gold Bridges creates a link between eras. Benefiting from the latest technological advances, it concentrates rare technical and watchmaking expertise in its delicately curved Art Deco-inspired case.<br \/>\nThe hand-satinned skeleton bridges, with their pure, contemporary geometry, are the fruit of an extremely delicate design: first finely hollowed out, they are then carefully polished by hand. It takes seven days to achieve a perfect finish, with the many closed angles alone posing a major challenge. The tourbillon device is also the object of particular attention, its 72 components having to be meticulously assembled in a diameter of just 12 millimeters. To these feats is added the precious matte anthracite treatment that gives this timepiece its distinctive identity.<br \/>\nThe self-winding movement, caliber GP9600, features a micro-rotor integrated under the barrel, patented by Girard- Perregaux. The architecture of the mechanism, also visible through the sapphire caseback, is further enhanced by the matte anthracite-treated components. A formidable demonstration of the Manufacture&#8217;s expertise. Or how aesthetics and technique manage to reinvent themselves and renew the rules of the art of watchmaking. A rarity limited to 50 pieces.               <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Capture-d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran-2012-05-08-%C3%A0-14.53.08.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Capture-d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran-2012-05-08-%C3%A0-14.53.08-300x251.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"Screenshot 2012-05-08 at 14.53.08\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-37212\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GIRARD-PERREGAUX VINTAGE 1945 TOURBILLON UNDER THREE GOLD BRIDGES HAUTE HORLOGERIE, Fascinating.
