TRUE BLUE TRIO

Bucherer adds three new models to its ongoing Blue Series .

Bucherer earlier this year added watches from Girard-Perregaux , H . Moser & Cie and L ’ Epée to its Bucherer Blue series of customized , limited edition models . All are finished in the Bucherer Blue color , meant to reflect its place in the watch retailer ’ s collection of custom-made , similarly hued watches made in partnership with a wide range of Swiss watchmakers . Each watch will be available as a limited edition of eighteen pieces .
GIRARD-PERREGAUX The new Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges Bucherer Blue builds on this watchmakers ’ s Neo series , a contemporary version of its famed Tourbillon with Three Bridges .
The watch is cased in titanium and features a trio of blued bridges also made from titanium . The three bridges not only support the geartrain , barrel and tourbillon , but also act as the mainplate . This design creates the impression that the bridges are floating .
Girard-Perregaux fits the 44mm case between two sapphire crystal glass boxes , which enhances the transparency – and the modernity – of the piece . Price : $ 167,000 .
