from/my/collection: Girard-Perregaux Pour Ferrari Chronograph 8020

Time to take a closer look at actually my only Girard-Perregaux from the Pour Ferrari line that is in my collection. The Chronograph 8020 comes in a very pronounced and masculine case that could have come out from the Ateliers of Pininfarina. While it has a modest 38mm size, the case has huge presence with the cap-shaped bezel and the rounded sides of the case. The actual real eye-catcher however, is the Ferrari-red dial.

The prancing horse takes centre stage on the dial. I appreciate not everyone likes such co-branded watches, but the way Girard-Perregaux approached the Pour Ferrari collection is truly admirable.
