Girard Perregaux

Friends, Time for Part II of our little series of underappreciated Girard-Perregaux watches from the 1990s. In Part II we will look closer at the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 8010. You may argue that with the re-launch of the Laureato in the current collecti...  

Another great review and a very interesting watch to consider. Of course, the drawback to this theme is that there is a natural tendency to wait until all parts are finished to evaluate......leaving the best to last theory.

.. but still.. Let‘s see what will be in the future.. Somewhat a bit unfortunate, that good patience is not one of my virtue. Nevertheless, I‘ll hang in.. Thx again & Best for the week !! hs.
