Actually it's a Blancpain caliber

Nov 19, 2016,13:45 PM
 

To be true the 1185 caliber was developed when Piguet owned Blancpain.  But Piguet no longer exists, after years of joint ownership and leadership by Blancpain's management, Piguet was fully merged into Blancpain. It is now Manufacture Blancpain.  And the caliber is a Blancpain caliber.

Ok, this morning when I woke up, I was spending some time here in the community and what did I find? 1) Blue-tiful watches and 2) KMII's discovery of a for me unknown Chopard chronograph in WG casing and with F. Piguet caliber inside And then, what happen...  

Congratulations! I like the case and hands a lot.

And don\'t worry your shots are perfect. Best wishes Alkiro

Naaa.. Let me take my proper camera and it will bring me closer to perfect.

Nice case and dial. What is the little crown at 6? Hope your eye infection gets cleared soon so you can enjoy looking at your watch even more.

I have to say that the cortison seems quite effective.

So then I can get closer to the crown at 6 o\'clock which is the logo of the ACM. ACM is the Automobile Club de Monaco and the organizer of the GPMH event which takes places every two years only. Thanks for your wishes and best regards Kolosstt

No date indeed.

A very nice piece there. Good to see another GPMH.

There are some seriously charming GPMH out there.

Mine..

.. is the Time Attack super quartz. It\'s been worn daily since it\'s been repaired. It\'s a nice partner for my Jacky Ickx.

Very nice!!
