The partnership first revealed in early 2021 and indeed, genuine friendship formed between Girard Perregaux and Aston Martin has led to the creation of a new timepiece the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition.<\/p>\n
Its styling plays with shapes, textures, and lightly tailored to those who appreciate luxury and performance Collectively, the two companies have over 330 years of amassed know-how, something that is evident when appraising both firms\u2019 creations.<\/p>\n
The Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition is the latest creation from Girard-Perregaux, made in collaboration with Aston Martin Lagonda. Its dial is suffused with a delightfully decadent application of what is now known as \u201cAston Martin Green\u201d, achieved by painstakingly applying paint twenty-one times to the dial, forming seven distinct layers of paint as a result.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The automotive influences also encompass cross-hatching, a diamond-like pattern first seen with the carmaker\u2019s \u2018AM\u2019 logo (1921 \u2013 1926). This motif was also inspired by the quilted seats found in the British brand\u2019s numerous high-performance sports cars.<\/p>\n
Three counters grace the dial, two chronograph registers and a small seconds display. Each counter features a partially openworked hand, perpetuating the design of the hour and minute hands. The central section of each counter is snailed. A date display is positioned at 04:30, completing the inventory of functions.<\/p>\n
Sporting an octagonal bezel, the profile of this model honours the watch brand\u2019s iconic Laureato of 1975. Upholding Girard-Perregaux\u2019s design philosophy, the case masterfully plays with different shapes.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the numerous curves, facets and lines, along with satin-finished and polished edges, collaborate, delivering a wonderful play with light. A pane of sapphire crystal, positioned to the rear of the watch, affords sight of the automatic, Manufacture movement, the Calibre GP03300-0141, marking the first time a Laureato Chronograph features an open caseback.<\/p>\n

This movement, based on the highly regarded Calibre GP03300, is endowed with C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve, in both circular and straight forms, polished sinks, thermally blued screws and perlage. The movement also bears the eagle emblem, signifying it is an in-house calibre.<\/p>\n
The watch is housed in a 42mm 904L stainless steel case. This particular grade of steel is less common than 316L and is costlier, the relative benefits of which include superior corrosion resistance, improved scratch resistance and a much brighter, luxurious appearance.<\/p>\n
The use of 904L stainless steel extends to the bracelet which is enriched with a satin brushed finish. When appraising the composition of the Laureato Chronograph – Aston Martin Edition, its profile encompasses different shapes, finishes and hues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
