Girard Perregaux Laureato Quartz Watch
February 22nd, 2010 by Vivian Lau
Not a few people know and love high-end quartz watches by Girard Perregaux. And few people know that is Seiko that made the first quartz watch in 1969, and Girard Perregaux was one of the first Swiss watch brands that made quartz watches and it greatly contributed to the setting of the the quartz movement frequency standard-32.768 hertz. This standard is still adopted by most quartz watches. The new Girard Perregaux Laureato Quartz limited edition watch has the standard in red on the brand’s singnature octagon dial.
The new quartz watch is powered by a caliber GP13500 quartz movement that is assembled by hand and nicely decorated. Via the sapphire crystal on the case back, you can admire the movement with a gold cap on the the battery compartment.
The case and the bracelet are well constructed on steel. The red seconds hand and the red 32.768hz wording nicely set off the over dark hue that is decent, cool and attractive. The dial is simple yet stylish and very easy to read. Thanks to the quartz watch revolution, the watch is highly accurate. And that is one of its real allures. And the watch comes with a space presentation box with a nice retro touch.
The watch is limited to 40 pieces only. And I think the small quantity is far from being enough for the demand. The retail prices a bit over $11,000. I think many watch collectors will love the high-end Swiss quartz watch.
