Girard-Perregaux Laureato Goes Back to Basics

Introduced in 1975, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato claims a place as one of its decade’s iconic luxury sports watches, alongside other such ’70s introductions as the Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Girard-Perregaux has released numerous revamped versions of the Laureato in the years since — with quartz movements, chronograph functions, even tourbillons — but for the latest one, debuting at Baselworld 2016 in March, the Swiss brand returns to the elegantly simple look that first made the Laureato a hit. read more

Hand On With Girard-Perregaux 1966 Large Date And Moon

The 1966 from Girard-Perregaux is a watch that we’ve appreciated for several years now. We loved it for many reasons: its elegance, its plain but lively domed dial, the quality of its case and its nicely finished movement. However (and with all the sympathy we have for the brand), we also noticed several faults. The first one is the size of the movement (clearly too small for the case) that leads to a date that is too close from the center of the dial, whether it is the 38mm version or the 41mm edition. Then comes the issue of the design. Some might find this watch a bit shy, especially in the white / silver dial editions – an issue that is solved with the rose gold / blue dial combination. These messages might have been heard by GP and the new 1966 Large Date and Moon Phases could possibly be the best of them all. read more

Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL Large Date And Moon Phases is a refreshing drop in the ocean of repetitive, often not very interesting vintage-revival or vintage-inspired watches. In fact, if the brand debuted it just this year, it would still be a very interesting contender among high-end wrist watches. Let’s see what makes the Vintage 1945 special – even if it is not without its minor flaws. read more

Girard-Perregaux Traveller Large Date, Moon Phases & GMT Watch

Published by:

Let’s just set one factor straight from the softball bat: using the Girard-Perregaux Traveller Large Date, Moon Phases & GMT, the company hasn’t introduced three different watches. Rather, they’ve given an extremely cumbersome title to some rather lovely watch that includes some complications - any guesses in regards to what they’re? For sake of brevity, I might rather make reference to the timepiece exclusively because the Girard-Perregaux Traveller. read more
