The stupendous Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Jackpot Tourbillon is currently accessible in another white gold rendition.
This Haute Horlogerie model is the primary watch truly uniting the famous Tourbillon with gold Bridge and a gaming machine.
The Vintage 1945 Jackpot Tourbillon is the product of the relationship between a round of possibility and watchmaking accuracy. Girard-Perregaux is the principal Manufacture to consolidate these two universes in a single restrictive Haute Horlogerie watch joining a Tourbillon and a gaming machine furnished with a striking system. This modern system is joined in the rich and even Art Deco roused Vintage 1945 case, presently proposed in white gold.
Notwithstanding the unpredictability of the system, the Vintage 1945 Jackpot Tourbillon is truly clear and simple to work. On the dial, a window at 12 o’clock uncovers a column of three images, while a cut-out at 6 o’clock allows one to respect the Tourbillon with gold Bridge. By pulling the switch on the correct side of the case, the three reels turn and afterward stop arbitrarily on one of the conceivable five images, while a sledge strikes a gong, creating the ring suggestive of the gaming machines in a club. Out of the 125 blends, just one addresses the big stake: the three chimes in succession.
An accomplishment of scaling down, the amazingly mind boggling coordinated development contains 502 sections and requires the most talented watchmakers to be produced. With the utilization of a different barrel, the switch can be pulled a limitless number of times without influencing the four-day power-hold of the watch. The straightforward case back permits one to notice the flawlessness of the development.
For this uncommon watch, the focus on detail included a complicated decision of the images. Dug out and afterward gently lacquered on the gold reels, the spades, hearts, precious stones, horseshoes and chimes are multiplications of those found in the principal mechanical gaming machine, the renowned “Freedom Bell”, concocted toward the finish of the nineteenth century by Charles August Fay thus named regarding the autonomy of the United States of America.
