Hands-On: The Girard-Perregaux Laureato 2016 Edition
The Laureato is one of Girard-Perregaux's most important designs, with a history going back to its birth in 1975 as a quartz-based chronometer wristwatch. The first mechanical versions of the Laureato were released in 1995, with the GP caliber 3100 and this year, GP is going back to that year for inspiration, with the 2016 edition of the Laureato automatic. The vintage Laureato self-winding models are well thought of by GP fans and collectors, but the appeal of the Laureato has always been a bit niche. Does the new 2016 model have what it takes to become the break-out, entry level icon Girard-Perregaux needs? Let's take a look. 1 OF 7 The first thing worth knowing about this new version of the Laureato is that it's definitely larger than the original self-winding model from 1995, which was 36 mm in diameter and just under 8 mm thick. That model, on the wrist, really feels like an extra-flat watch; it has a feeling of unobtrusive fineness that I found really ap

This is not to say that I'm a fan of everything the brand produces, but I admire the way the manufacture applies a certainly polarizing and idiosyncratic design language consistently to every model in its range, from the most exclusive models to its entry-level pieces.More than one collector I have met has described F.P.Journe watches as "poetic" in both design and engineering, including a particularly memorable collector who, over glasses of rosé in the courtyard of the 14th-century Swiss château he of course redesigned himself, waxed lyrically about the peerless way the brand balances "technology and poetry" in its designs. (Bear in mind that this was during an event sponsored by another watch manufacture, but this was of no concern to him considering the elegant Resonance he sported on his wrist.)So, need

So I have another piece coming in. Should be here tomorrow or Monday.This is a piece that I really did not understand the price premium but one day it just hit me. Now I get why it is so special. Again the devil is in the details as with all finer things in life.It is a 15XXX. Heart is pounding.

Interested in a Panerai - questions.
I own a Rolex blue YM (116622) and am possibly interested in a Panerai, just to add something different. I'd like a Luminor with a date (Ideally with date bubble), an in-house movement, and a display back. From what I can tell on the website, that does not exist?The 1950's luminor does not have a date bubble and the newer versions don't seem to have a display back?
