GP Laureato skeleton
GP Laureato skeleton is not just another openworked / skeleton timepiece. It is a work of art. Its minimalist approach has given viewers plenty of breathing room to appreciate the inner workings of the watch. It has embraced both the organic and dynamic forms of design to create the bridges.
Even the skeletonized rose gold rotor has become an integral part of the design when it stops oscillating and sits in spaces between the curved bridges.
Final thoughts: The design of GP Laureato skeleton is both bold and thrilling to me. The dial plays very well against the octagonal case design. Of all my skeleton timepieces, this one has a solid spot in my heart.

The idea of less is more can be executed in a very artistic way as demonstrated by this timepiece.
Wonderful post
Thanks JTL, for sharing the pics and write up. I tried it on and felt it was a bit light for me. I was not used to the lightness but I may just need to give it a second chance. I agree that GP did a good job on the skeletonized calibre 1800. This coils te...
Thanks Marc.
Yes, the overall weight is a tad lighter than my green dial Laureato. I found the sound is as smooth, light and crisp as my other timepieces with gold rotor. The sound closest to this skeleton that I can compare with is the JLC 772 caliber on my world tim...
