Why We Love it

–

There’s a certain confidence in a watch that doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel — it simply refines it.

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato has long occupied that sweet spot between sport and sophistication, a design born in the 1970s that remains as relevant today as it was at its inception. Its signature architecture — the interplay between a round case and octagonal bezel, paired with a seamlessly integrated bracelet — remains one of the most quietly compelling shapes in modern watchmaking.

This contemporary Laureato Chronograph, Reference 81020-11-431-11A, leans into that legacy with a crisp, steel execution and a striking blue dial. Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case with a domed bezel and screw-down crown, it offers a reassuring sense of solidity on the wrist. The dial itself is rich and dynamic, shifting in tone depending on the light, with applied 'index' markers and luminous hands ensuring clarity at a glance. The chronograph layout is clean and balanced, delivering functionality without sacrificing the design’s inherent elegance.

Powered by a Swiss automatic movement and water resistant to 100 meters, this is a watch built for daily wear — equally at home under a cuff or out in the world. The integrated steel bracelet with folding clasp completes the package, reinforcing that fluid, cohesive feel that defines the Laureato line.

Sporty, architectural, and effortlessly wearable, it’s a modern classic that knows exactly what it is, and doesn’t try too hard to be anything else.

Brand Story

Few manufactures can trace their lineage as far back, or as credibly, as Girard-Perregaux. Founded in 1791, the brand stands among the true old guard of Swiss watchmaking, a maison that has quietly shaped the evolution of the wristwatch for more than two centuries.

From the start, Girard-Perregaux balanced aesthetics with engineering ambition. In the 19th century, Constant Girard’s Three Gold Bridges tourbillon transformed movement architecture into visual theater — not just a technical solution, but a design language. That instinct to elevate mechanics into art would define the house.

By the early 20th century, GP was producing wristwatches at a time when pocket watches still dominated, positioning itself ahead of shifting tastes. Decades later, in 1966, the brand unveiled one of the first high-frequency movements beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour — a meaningful leap in chronometric performance. And in 1971, Girard-Perregaux developed one of the earliest Swiss quartz calibers, helping establish the 32,768 Hz frequency that remains the global standard today.

Yet for all its technical milestones, GP’s enduring appeal lies in its balance: refinement without flash, innovation without noise. Two centuries on, the bridges still remain. Art and mechanics, past and present, precision and beauty.
