Girard-Perregaux launches new Laurel series watches

Among luxury watch brands, Girard-Perregaux is definitely the elder. Founded in 1791, it has always had a good record in watchmaking technology. The Laureato series of watches it first released has a history of nearly 50 years. The Laureato series of watches it released in 1975 has become one of the representatives of luxury sports watches at that time.

Later, due to some reasons, the Laurel series of GP Girard-Perregaux went silent for a time. However, the new Laurel series watches, which were redesigned and launched in 2017, quickly became one of the brand’s best-selling series with their elegant appearance and high-end craftsmanship. This time, it has launched a new 42mm Laurel series watch, equipped with GP01800 automatic movement and priced at 147,000 yuan, which still attracts the attention of many high-end consumers.

The new Laurel series watch (model 810101134751CM) uses a gray grand feu enamel dial. During the production process, the dial needs to be fired in a high-temperature furnace of 800 degrees Celsius. This high-temperature firing process not only gives the dial a unique luster, but also ensures that the color is durable and does not fade. When we admired this watch, we were attracted by its gray as deep as the sky, and this gray is also a color uniquely created by the Grand Feu enamel process.

Analysis of watch craftsmanship details

The movement part of the watch is also outstanding. It is equipped with the 01800 automatic movement produced by GP Girard-Perregaux. As an automatic movement, its structure is relatively simple and the number of parts is not too many. However, its performance is very good. It can provide 54 hours of power reserve and has a vibration frequency of up to 28,800 times per hour. This frequency can ensure the accuracy of travel time and will not cause time errors due to too low a frequency of the movement.

The front of the watch is an anti-glare sapphire crystal mirror, which is not only extremely hard but also has very good light transmittance, allowing you to clearly appreciate the operation of the watch’s internal movement. Moreover, this watch also uses a barrel-shaped stainless steel case, which has been brushed to make it more elegant.

The most special thing is that this watch also has 100 meters of waterproof performance, which is more than enough for daily wear. For watch friends who like to dive, this data is just within the safe range. In addition, the back of the watch has a see-through design, so you can appreciate the exquisite carving process of the movement and the wonderful moments during operation.

The most special thing about this watch is its entire stainless steel bracelet. The one-piece design makes the overall feel stronger, and the folding clasp is more convenient to use.

Conclusion

Girard-Perregaux’s Laurel series watches have proven its status in the field of luxury watches and are worthy of praise for both craftsmanship and design. Especially the unique gray dial is really unforgettable. What do you think of this watch? Come and share your views with me in the comment area, and don’t forget to like and support!
