fashion875

For those big fans of Girard-Perregaux, it could be extremely good news for them when they hear that this famous Swiss watch making company has, in an extremely surprising move, revived the concept of the high-end battery powered quartz timepiece. As a tribute to the late 1960s, when quartz technology was coveted, and watches housing this revolutionary technology were scarce and expensive, the luxurious brand synonymous for such mechanical achievements as the Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges and the different kinds of chiming Opera masterpieces now presents a model of its sporty Laureato watch housing an innovative in-house Girard-Perregaux quartz movement. Engineered and adored by the same care as a premium mechanical caliber, this GP13500 movement pays tribute to the manufacture's achievement in 1970: bringing one of the highest quality and most technically meritorious Swiss quartz watches to a demanding watch-buying clientele.
The Girard-Perregaux Laureato watch which houses the GP13500 quartz movement is made from stainless steel, and features the exclusive integrated bracelet that the version is famous for. The rich blue dial shows off a decorative grid pattern, dazzling hands and hour indices, and red accents on the center seconds hand and date wheel. Turning the creation over, it shows off another feature seldom seen on any other quartz watch model--an exhibition sapphire back. Looking through it, the purchaser of Girard-Perregaux's new quartz watch can enjoy some very fine masterpiece and pedigreed movement finishing--complet which leaves no fear of comparison to a self-winding or manually wound mechanical movement of the top tier. The whole surfaces of the GP13500 caliber are decorated luxuriously with Cotes de Geneve patterns, containing the gilt-finished battery cover that is crafted with the Girard-Perregaux initials and symbol. Another unmistakable touch of the unique are a lot of screws presenting a deep and even blued finish.
Technically, the quartz crystal of the GP13500 movement resonates at a frequency of 32.768 hertz, a specification that has been standard to all quartz calibers for almost 40 years. Intriguingly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it was Girard-Perregaux's original quartz movement from 1970 which created this frequency--an achievement attributable to electronics specialist Georges Vuffray stands for the brand. It can be expected that this novel GP quartz caliber for 2010 is not only a creation of great visual beauty,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but one which delivers marvellous accurate timekeeping in the tradition of the best quartz movements.
While quartz watches may be synonymous with many production in the eyes of some, Girard-Perregaux has made it very clear that the novel battery-animated Laureato model is nothing but unique. The house will create just 40 pieces of these special stainless steel Laureato quartz watches, a figure that is well under that for even some of the most famous complications in the repertoire of mechanical watchmaking. When the watch becomes available later in the year, it will come with a suggested retail price of just over $11,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 (US). This wonderful watch creation, as the very interpretation of the brand's genuine watch making craftsmanship,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], can surely catch many watch enthusiasts' eyes sensationally.
