LAUREATO ABSOLUTE
2019: Laureato Absolute is born.
The innerstrengths of the original modelare revealed through a nuncompromising
masterwork.
More sophisticatedandmore contemporary, it stems from a comprehensiveapproach to formulating the urbanexpression of today's active men.
A stronger presence on the wrist thanks to a broader 44 mm diameter, a lighter feel with a case now made of black PVD-treated titanium, along with water-resistance pushed to 300 metres, all complemented by a new fully integrated rubber strap.
Three models highlighting three functions: Laureato Absolute, Laureato Absolute Chronograph and Laureato Absolute WW.TC, all equipped with Manufacture movements.
After bringing Laureato firmly back in to the spotlight, Girard-Perregaux orchestrates an evolution of its icon that makes it even more powerful. Laureato Absolute is a distillation of watchmaking expertise, enhanced by a broader case middle with tauter lines. This new structure, entirely clad in black PVD-treated titanium energised by an electric blue ring, is now water-resistant to 300 meters.
With Laureato Absolute, Laureato Absolute Chronograph and Laureato Absolute WW.TC, Girard-Perregaux presents a trio of radical, assertive and singular timepieces endowed with a44mm diameter case, framing sunburstdials with a colour gradation running fromdark blue in the centre to deep black around the rim. The white inner bezel ringwith its luminescent accents accentuates the depth of the matt black hour-markers.
Perfectly integrated withthe case, a blue-stitched black rubber strap is injection-mouldedwith the names Girardand Perregaux, thus affirming its belonging to a Maison of traditions. An inner force that draws its energy from the fundamentals of the cosmos as a quest for the extraordinary, for affirmations of who we areas human beings. Inaddition, its play on colours, black as the universe, blue as the sky, makes the Laureato Absolute a natural fitwithin the"Earth to Sky" theme guiding Girard-Perregaux's 2019 new launches.
Finally, Laureato Absolute WW.TC explores one of Girard-Perregaux's best-known complications: the WW.TC (worldtime) movement. More relevant than ever in a globalised world, this function makes its first-ever appearance in the most avant-garde model from the Maison: Laureato Absolute.
