VC watch ?

[wolfeyes1974]

I'm really curious...when I was barely 10-12 years old...I remember AP & GP were great watch names...even when I didn't know how to spell them in full (I'm still not sure now , but at least nowadays can check quite easily).

What happened to GP (Girard Perregaux)??? Saw some pre-owned pieces in P*ss**ns website...value like quite far from AP

GP still around but has never been the same league as PP, VC, AP (or breguet). History wise is also not as long as the 4 brands.

cheers

for me i think every brand also have their own super good model. AP PP rolex or other top brand also have some models that are so so only.

For me, I just feel I must have a VC, PP and AP in the collection. And of course, Lange, Rolex, Roger Dubuis, Hoblot, Zenith, Panerai, Ulysee, Cartier, Tag, Bovet, Breguet, BRM, Corum, Freederique Constant, FP Journe, Franck Muller, Gerald Genta, Glashutte Original, IWC, JLC, Richard Mille, Sinn... OMG....

GP

Actually GP is the second oldest brand behind VC is regards to continous business. But unfortunately the ADs messed up the brand, thus resulting in bad after market value. GP is actually quite well known for complications.

But then in Europe they crown Blancpain king but over here it is is quite crappy. So ah well.

Think it spell as BREGUET, swiss made since 1775 hehe

bro,


breguet was french till ard 1800, when he exiled to switzerland. only pre swiss days are real collectables in international watch markets. those made in switzerland are under contract basis, not built by breguet.

modern day breguet started only in the 70s., when it was bot by Chaumet brothers.

bros here have already mentioned the 3 kings....you can say VC is the old emperor, PP is the king, and AP is the crown prince.

to me(and thats just me), i feel every collection shld have the 3 kings' gentlemen's watch range. beyond that, he shld also collect their sports range, nautilus, overseas and royal oak.

then rolexes and panerais.

then IWCs and JLCs

then german watches GOs and langes.

then the fashion ones like U boat, BnR

Harry Winston, another jeweller brand trying to go horological. good design philosophy, and creating exciting time pieces. do also consider de Grisogono, which has more affordable pieces. all trying to mimick frank muller.

Thanks for the info bro, still learning .....

keen to learn and good to share horological knowledge. like Socrates said : one thing i know, that is i know nothing.

[triton]

never know how to appreciate VC design.

as for PP, only saw a couple of design that i like then again when the price is known, it is like buying a HDB flat.

as for AP, i find it hard to carry off the design. then again, im not too keen as it seems to me that they keep focusing on making limited numbers for their royal oak design. no doubt that they have millenary jules audemars, etc.
