Girard Perregaux Traveller Large Date I feel like there is an entire generation of truly awesome watches that have been completely overlooked, relegated to history proverbial milk carton vente de bague en argent with a bold black banner pleading, you seen me beneath. coque iphone 8 Not yet bague en argent ou acier old enough to be considered notably but slipping through the cracks just before Instagram made everything instantly accessible, one such or watch was the Girard bague or rose fred Perregaux Traveller collection, easily one of the generation best kept secrets from one of watchmaking most bague en argent avec strass criminally underrated manufactures. Originally introduced in 2014, then updated to this particular reference in 2015 (and discontinued shortly thereafter), the Traveller collection in particular, the Large Date, Moonphase GMT provided a whole host of great functionality and wearability in a beautifully finished package not atypical for anyone familiar with Girard Perregaux offerings from the last decade, or so. bijoux personnalise This Traveller, in particular, was housed in a beautifully sculpted 44mm by 12mm case whose easy wearability defied its decidedly modern proportions. It was also water resistant to 100 meters, a boon for any frequent flier who might indulge in the occasional ocean swim or hotel pool at any point during his or her journey. coque iphone 6 The date window doesn bague or rose en v get enough love from watch fans and, though I generally prefer having one, I fully understand most of the criticism, which most commonly cites it for being obtrusive, unnecessary (particularly for those who switch watches every day or so), or simply because it breaks up the dial comment recuperer une bague en argent uniformity. coque samsung But what I always loved about the date complication is that it makes no attempt to disguise bijou bague en argent itself somewhere in the dial and the brands that do it well, like Girard Perregaux, lean into the complication and make it an integral component of the watch design. It in the best instances, like this one, where it is not hidden at 4 o or tucked into half an index at 6 o but instead displayed proudly at 12 o where it supersedes bague or rose createur even the name of the brand. It the first thing your eyes are drawn bague en argent homme de roumanie to after the time, and for good reason: Girard Perregaux engineers have rendered each of the overlapping date discs in an ultra thin (a scant 0.10mm thick, around the thickness of a human hair) transparent film called upon which the numbers are screen printed. This is to ensure that both discs are on a seamless visual bague en argent martelé plane with no separation between them. coque iphone 8 pas cher All things considered, it a minor detail, until bague en argent et emeraude pas cher you look at how a traditional reparation bague en argent Grande Date bague en argent 925 et améthyste de la marque bijou amou complication is rendered, where you notice the two date discs are on entirely different intersecting planes, yielding an uneven date display with the numbers being shown at different depths within the aperture. iphone 11 case amazon/a> The date discs aren the only semi transparent elements on the Traveller Large Date this particular reference, the last in the series, was finished on a semi smoky, translucent dial that shows the movement beneath. Upon the dial is printed a series of spherical meridian lines designed to carry the watch globetrotting theme, though I might have preferred one or the other: either a solid dial with the lines or a transparent dial without them, as they overly complicate the design a bit. Built around a heavily modified version of Girard Perregaux in house produced GP 03300 calibre (this is the bague or rose opale same base movement utilized in pretty much all of GP three hand models), the Traveller displayed an oversized date aperture bague en argent femme taille 46 at 12:00, an exquisitely detailed metallic moonphase display at 8 o and an independently adjustable 24 hour indicator at 4 o bague en argent style indien controlled via the adjacent pusher. coque huawei coque iphone 7 pas cher This movement wasn technically new at the time; it had been used on earlier variations of the Laureato EVO (another wonderful collection that pre dated the current modern iteration of the Laureato), albeit to a lesser degree souder une bague en argent of finishing and belle bague en argent pas cher without the pusher adjustment. But what makes this iteration of the movement odd is that despite the watch being called the pusher controls the 24 hour indicator usually time on a traditional travel oriented GMT watch. bijoux pas cher coque iphone 8 In a perfect world, a set of pushers histoire dor bague or rose diamant would control the main handset in single hour bursts, either forward or back, depending on the direction being traveled. coque samsung A sterling example of this particular execution would be the Urban Jurgensen One GMT or the entretenir bague en argent more well known Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time (ref. 5164A), two watches which, sadly, have precious little competition in terms of both functionality and accessibility. coque iphone 5 Coming in at well under half the cost of either the aforementioned, the Girard Perregaux Traveller is just a poinçon sur bague en argent few clicks away from perfection. bijoux pas cher That said, as a GMT, where one conducts business with different time zones around the world, keeping track of a morning call with London, followed by a check in with Singapore might require the use of a quick adjust 24 hour hand, in which case the Traveller definitely excels. I could absolutely see this particular reference being popular among the finance crowd, where this everyday utility doesn come at the cost of some really great dial and movement finishing and a little exclusivity. The rest of us frequent fliers will have to wait bague en argent pas chères for SIHH 2020 to see if Girard Perregaux bague or rose manege a bijoux revives the Traveller or re deploys another version of this movement in the Laureato fingers crossed for that extra pusher and functionality to give the globetrotting Aquanaut a rightful run for its money.
