Have you ever heard of Girard-Perregaux? Many people may not be familiar with this brand, but the new Laurel Series chronograph it has launched in recent days is definitely worth a look! This watch not only breaks through the tradition in design, but also adopts a new ice blue dial, which is simply a visual feast! Want to know what other highlights it has? Read on!
Diversified product lines meet consumer needs
As market demand changes and consumer tastes evolve, brands are constantly launching new products to meet the needs of different consumers.
But before that, everyone probably didn’t know that much about Girard-Perregaux.
In fact, Girard-Perregaux has already begun to exert its efforts at the beginning of this year.
At that time, we gave a detailed introduction to the new Girard-Perregaux Laurel series moon phase watch.
At the recent Milan International Watch and Clock Fair, the new Girard-Perregaux Laurel Series chronograph was officially unveiled to everyone.
The launch of the new chronograph also marks the completion of the Girard-Perregaux Laurel series product line.
Integrated bracelet and wearing experience
It is worth mentioning that the bracelet design of this new chronograph is also quite bright.
Its bracelet is an integrated design and adopts the classic GP style.
Moreover, its triple “butterfly” folding clasp is also consistent with the Laureato series, improving the overall wearing experience.
Although it is a chronograph, the size of this new model is very well controlled and it is very comfortable to wear.
Breaking the previous obsession with size.
New ice blue dial and movement
The most important change in this new chronograph is its dial color.
Its dial adopts a new ice blue color, which is full of visual impact.
However, at the bottom of the dial, Girard-Perregaux still retains the classic embossed Paris hobnail pattern.
The setting of 430 date windows of the same color adds a touch of agility to it.
It is worth mentioning that the use of ice blue dial in the new Girard-Perregaux Laurel series chronograph is the first time in this series.
Internally equipped is the self-produced movement GP03300, with a 46-hour power reserve and a frequency of 4Hz.
The History and Limited Edition of the Laurel Series
In fact, as early as 1975, Girard-Perregaux launched the Laureato luxury sports watch and re-engraved it in 2016.
In recent years, Girard-Perregaux’s efforts in the Laurel series have also earned it a lot of praise.
In 2023, the launch of the new Girard-Perregaux Laurel series chronograph also marks the gradual improvement of this series of product lines.
The ice blue version launched this time is the first model, and its importance is self-evident.
However, the limited release of this watch is also quite surprising.
This watch is limited to 180 pieces worldwide, and the domestic price is 156,000 yuan.
Its European price at the Milan International Watch Fair is 20,100 euros (tax included) or US$19,100 (tax excluded).
Such a high price, coupled with the limited edition of 180 pieces, undoubtedly increases its uniqueness and collection value.
Design and functionality of the new chronograph
This time the new chronograph has a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 12.6 mm.
The case is made of 904L stainless steel, and the overall texture is very good.
At the same time, the bottom is also equipped with a transparent bottom cover, so you can clearly appreciate the running status of the movement.
Moreover, this watch has a 100-meter waterproof function and is very practical.
Conclusion
The launch of the Girard-Perregaux Laurel Series chronograph not only enriches the brand’s product line, but also brings new choices to watch enthusiasts. The scarcity of the limited edition of 180 pieces and the high price of 156,000 yuan really makes people love and hate it. Do you think the price and design are worth it?
