The original Laureato came out back in 1975 and it was Girard Perregaux’s response to Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak. However the first Laureato was actually a quartz watch. Only in 1995 that Girard Perregaux introduced a mechanical version of the Laureato.
The Laureato Chronograph Ti49 was first introduced in 2024. Ti49 stands for Titanium - as this one is the first Laureato made in full Grade-5 Titanium and 49 for Laureato’s 49th anniversary the year this model was launched.
It measures at 42mm in diameter with 12mm thick profile. And it is paired with a grey dial - that matches the nuance of the Titanium case - with a Clous de Paris pattern. The chronograph counter also has circular patter
Powering the watch is the Cal. GP03300 Self-Winding Chronograph movement with 46 hours power reserve.

In 1904, Louis Cartier created a watch by the request of the famous Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont. He requested a watch for him to be able to tell the time while flying. It leads to the birth of one of the first wristwatch ever made and what becomes one of the most recognizable watch from Cartier.

The story of Vacheron Constantin’s sports watch began in the 1977, the same decade Audemars Piguet introduced their Royal Oak and Patek Philippe introduced their Nautilus. It was designed by Jorg Hysek and it is called the 222, as it was created to celebrate Vacheron Constantin’s 222th anniversary.
In March 2022, Vacheron Constantin revived the legendary 222 with a design faithful to the original with modern refinement.

The Elegante was first introduced by FP Journe in 2014 as a fuss-free sporty ladies watch. It was a totally unexpected move by the independent manufacture that’s so renowned for their ingenuity with mechanical movements. It somehow gained enough popularity that two years later they decided to release a larger size intended for men.
This Elegante is the larger version with 48mm length and 40mm width. The case is flat tortue shaped with a slim 7.9mm profile. This version has a Titanium case with Titalyt treatment giving it a significant harder and more scratch resistant surface making it ideal for everyday wear.
The entire dial is white and covered with Super Luminova making it highly legible even in the dark. It has a sub second dial at 6 and a tiny window at 4 showing the oscillating weight that works as the motion detector.
The Elegante has a revolutionary electro-mechanical movement with an incredible 8 to 18 years autonomy. It took them 8 years to fully develop this movement. Part of the reason it has a very long autonomy is the clever feature that put the watch to sleep when the watch is still when it’s not in motion for 30 minutes. During this sleep mode all the mechanical parts stop but the microprocessor continues to keep time. And when it senses movement from the oscillating weight visible on the dial, the hands automatically go back to the current time, taking the shortest path.
On top of these clever features, the Elegante has its bridges and plates made out of gold just as it is with other mechanical FP Journe giving it an attractive look at the back.
