Thanks for your input
there are always some common design elements between sports bracelet chronographs.
I do think however, that the new Laureato Chronograph really follows the heritage of the 1996 Laureato Olimpico.
The bezel design, the dial and the crown guards and pushers, very much an evolution from this Reference but more modern and aligned with the current Laureato collection.

SIHH 2018 Novelty: Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph 42mm (Ref: 81020) and 38mm (Ref 81040)
At SIHH 2018, Girard-Perregaux is extending its Laureato line with the introduction of the Laureato Chronograph in 42mm and 38mm with a variary of case/bracelet materials and dials. After the Laureato from 1996, the Laureato Chronograph Olimpico (Ref 8017...
Many thanks, Alkiro
I think we all looked forward and expected a Chrono and it looks like we will not be disappointed. Two sizes and different dials. Let's wait for some live shots.
Very nice chronos there!
The steel/leather and RG/leather on the pictures are particularly good looking watches: noble, cool ans not the slightest dated looking. And choices of sizes, too. Well done GP!
Thanks Moritz for your feedback.
I agree that the gold with leather is very classy looking. And there should be a version for every taste!
GP has a new ambassador
Your promotion is absolutely deserved. 😎 Oh yes, the watches are great, but we already knew it 😄😄😄
Welcome to the GP team, dear CC!
very happy to have you onboard! Now this new Laureato chronograph looks awesome! An expected development in the line, looking forward to see this one in the metal! Best, my friend Blomman
Thanks Blomman. I think "awesome" hits the nail
a logical move given the history with the Laureato Chronographs, especially the Olimpico 8017 from 1996.
NIce dials.
I like the blue dial, looks very nice on pics. Every time I feel the attraction towards the Laureato, let's be sincere, I think it's because it reminds me of my favorite watch ever within this style, the Royal Oak Chronograph 39 mm. The Laureato to me has...

A gorgeous set of chronos... sporty yet chic, refined and elegant (can't always say the same thing of an obvious competitor). I can't wait
to see live shots, but for now, the all blue on bracelet and the silver dial with blue hands on bracelet look especially nice too me. And, funny thing, I think the strap options look better with the Laureato chronos than the time/date models. Maybe the da...
Many thanks CJ. You make some great points
and I also agree on the strap combination. CC
Excellent first post as Moderator my dear friend
Keep on the good work so I can scoop some GPs while you are working Cheers D
Yeah, certainly a good look for the Laureatos.
Well done with your post, BTW.. You're off to a bangin' start!
Congratulations on your first post as GP moderator, CC.
There is one thing that I can't really figure out from your introduction: "In the versions with a 42 mm case, the hour-markers are secured to the minute circle, while the 38 mm version features hour-markers separate from the minute circle." I checked the ...
Interesting point you raise, Luis.
Thanks for the kind words. For your question: The description is from the GP press release and to really see the difference, i think we need live shots and not the rendered catalogue photos. We will look into that detail again shortly. So stay tuned. CC
Thanks Blomman for the report
the electric blue sub dials on the black dial looks fantastic! Great design from GP Cheers Robin
He, he - not me this time! ;)
Our new GP mod did this! A great reinforcement to the team! Best Blomman
Thanks Salman and glad you like the new Chrono
For prices, please kindly check the GP website where you can find Swiss recommended retail for orientation. Best, CC
Good assay....
Like teh way that you process the info and present the goodies. Again, congratulations on teh Mod'ing
Many thanks, Joe.
still feels like my first swimming lesson, but I'll keep my head above the water.
Forum is in good hands for sure!
Great first thread to kick things off too! Lovely new Laureato designs - disappointed that the long standing movement with a chrono module is still being used. A new integrated in house chrono movement would make these darn near perfect.
Many thanks Mustang
yes, the have done a great job with the Chronograph in the Laureato. As for the integrated inhouse Chronograph movement: let's say: first things first, GP still needs to put a lot of focus on reviving the collection and last two years clearly has the focu...
Well said CC
Of course GP needs to chart the course that best series their goals and priorities. My quiet worry (and probably a pause in acquiring) is the many "friendly competitor" chronographs in the price point that offer modern, purpose built chronograph movements...
