Wrist Style

The Girard-Perregaux BMW Oracle Racing watch collection represents an unblemished amalgamation of sports elegance and high luxury Swiss watchmaking. This striking Girard-Perregaux watch collection comes in limited edition of 32 pieces. The watch here I am talking about is GP Laureato Regatta Tourbillon Chronograph. The 32 pieces of Laureato Regatta chronograph are dedicated to 32nd America’s Cup. These timepieces combine a Flying Tourbillion and a chronograph with a countdown mechanism. Finely designed as stringently as a racing boat, this ‘Haute Horlogerie’ creation endures the stamp of technical performance and outstanding quality at their most beautiful level. This latest timepiece was exclusively developed for the competition. One hand is completely dedicated to the countdown of the 10minutes preceding the start, enabling the remaining time to be read with accuracy, in a zone situated between 9 and 12 o’clock. Then, the counter at 1 o’clock instantly takes over the calculation of the duration of the race. A single pusher is used to operate the various functions. A Flying Tourbillon strengthens the nobility of this wristwatch. Unchained from its bridge, as if poised in the air, the subtle mechanism is admirable in all its splendor through the open area of its dial. The transparent case back allows one to view the complexity of the movement. Thus, the only pusher is located at 3 o’clock, whereas the crown situated at 4 o’clock is protected and screwed down to ensure water resistance and avoid any inadvertent activation. The case is easy to use with its 46 mm diameter ensuring the quality of its overall composition. The Flying Tourbillon incorporates the balance mechanism and balance spring. The mechanism of the Flying Tourbillon is fixed on the bottom part of the movement, the plate. This makes the whole Tourbillon visible through the dial. The chronograph’s column-wheel activates the chronograph and the countdown mechanism simultaneously.
