SPOTTED! BY AG: Dispatch 16, January 2018 – the Holidays edition
For those of you situated outside of Australia, it might come as a surprise to learn that over the Christmas break just about everything shuts down for a few weeks (which means lots of BBQs, beaches and beers). This does include Time + Tide HQ (well, sort of, but not really), but that didn’t stop me from getting out and about in the summer heat, to do what I do best … My first spot for this Dispatch was on the wrist of Time + Tide contributor Cam, who was down in Melbourne for our Christmas party. So when I saw it, I promptly stole it. I’ve always loved the Omega Flightmaster; in fact, I think it’s the first ever watch photo that I posted on Instagram. There’s just so much to love about these old Flightmasters, which were made for only a handful of years during the late 1960s and early ’70s. I’ve said it before — the Flightmaster is long overdue for a reissue! Spotted on the wrist of a gent opposite me at a cafe, there was no missing the killer sector dial on this JLC Master Control. Its owner was quite the watch collector, and just that week…

INTRODUCING: The Girard-Perregaux Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges Skeleton
For a brand with a long, rich history, Girard-Perregaux is a dab hand at the ultra-modern, as evidenced by this Neo Tourbillon with Three Bridges Skeleton. This watch is the first skeletonised execution of the Neo Tourbillon. And while there’s no denying that this 45mm titanium-cased marvel of miniaturised engineering is – indeed – a watch, from the right angles you could easily mistake it for a scale model of a particularly audacious and artistic building project. The Neo Tourbillon is dominated, as you would expect, by the horizontal bridges, curved and shimmering thanks to the bezelled, sandblasted black PVD-finished bridges (rather than the more traditional gold). Between these bridges, scarcely hidden from sight is the 0.25 gram tourbillon cage at the bottom, and a large power barrel (good for at least 60 hours) at the top of the watch, powered by a unidirectional micro-rotor, in 18K white gold. These elements, which words don’t really do justice to, comprise the calibre GP 09400-0011. The lucky wearer’s view of this aggressively modern 9.54mm thick movement is ensured by the clear, highly cambered convex glassbox sapphire crystal. Don’t be fooled by the size, this sharp style and finely balanced micro-engineering of their Girard-Perregaux…
