Working from home affects our dress code. On the one hand, the sales of simple, sports-casual style clothing have soared, but at the same time, the demand for luxury goods is also growing. Just like cashmere jogging shoes (rather than cotton sweatpants), selected bookshelves suitable for the background of Zoom, and exquisite jewelry for daily wear. This is the execution of all details.

In the words of the famous fashion designer Coco Chanel: "Elegance is rejection." Although Chanel is not slacking in accessories, she always mistakenly favors a timeless style made of timeless materials, no matter what It can be used in any situation.

Girard-Perregaux (Girard-Perregaux) launched a new cross-category Infinity series, by stripping the bling to demonstrate its watchmaking skills.

Family similar
The Infinity series consists of eight new pieces with similar dial design concepts, but covers the four existing categories of Girard-Perregaux (1945, 1966, Cosmos and Laureto).

The Vintage 1945 Infinity Edition and 1966 Infinity Edition are a tribute to the exquisite craftsmanship of the 20th century. The agate dial links these two very unique eras together. Patrick Pruniaux, chief executive officer of Girard-Perregaux, said: “Agate is the new black man.” “The 40mm and 30mm Vintage 1945 Infinity Edition and 1966 Infinity Edition both capture the beauty of the past, and are due to timeless aesthetics and mechanical virtues. And it has been perfected for today and for the future."

As Pruniaux explained, both models avoid floppy, "These watches avoid complexity; instead, they contain pure lines and beautiful proportions. These three models clearly give time and become more It's easier."

These fake watches sale reinterpret the design norms of their respective eras, but still satisfy our modern sensitivity. The Vintage 1945 Infinity is housed in a 36.10 x 35.25mm stainless steel case, while the 1966 Infinity offers a 30mm case for women and a 40mm version for men.

These low-key silhouettes enable Girard-Perregaux's team to demonstrate its watchmaking skills.

Clémence Dubois, Chief Product Marketing Officer of Girard-Perregaux, said: “It takes very skilled technology to shape the black onyx dial into their respective rectangles and circles. In our manufacturing process, it involves no less than 15 Month’s fine operations."

The original rectangle of Girard-Perregaux in 1945 distilled the essence of the late Art Deco era. The brand-new Vintage 1945 Infinity Edition also has the iconic features of that era, with an ergonomically curved wrist line, stylish time-minute hand-shaped hour and minute hands, and rose gold hands. There are elegant metal rings above and below the crown, and the crown and bracelet are perfectly integrated with the case.

The internal manufacturing movement uses a patented "Grand Date" display, which uses two independent optical discs with an interval of only 0.1mm. The mechanism consists of 282 components, and the date is announced in a highly clear form.

The 1966 Infinity Edition evokes the fascination of the 1960s with its ultra-thin case, round dial, leaf-shaped hands and rose gold hands. To complete the aesthetics of the mid-century, it is equipped with a matching leather strap. For today's enthusiasts, the display case back allows you to appreciate the self-winding movement and accompanying rose gold oscillating weight.best replica watches

Finally, the 30 mm stainless steel case of the 1966 Infinity Edition ladies' watch was set with 60 diamonds, totaling 0.55 carats.

If the Infinity Editions of 1945 and 1966 demonstrated the beauty and functionality of Girard Perregaux, then the Cosmos and Laureto Infinity models will have a more futuristic feel. Again, the theme that brings all these timepieces together is the agate.

"The infinite version of the universe is a journey through stars, making invisible objects visible," Pruno said. Indeed, the Cosmos Infinity Edition is an extremely complex timepiece with a harp-shaped tourbillon cage held in place by Girard-Perregaux's iconic Neo bridge. There is also a globe at 3 o'clock to indicate day or night; there is also a globe at 9 o'clock to show the constellations of the zodiac.

Both globes are made of polished onyx and are hand-decorated with micro paintings, which can be personalized according to requirements.

The art of the watchmaker is known for the calibration of each globe. The passage of earth time is based on the orbital motion of the earth, and the solar day is the earth revolving around its axis every 24 hours. The solar day is displayed on the globe of the Wednesday day/night indicator. Astronomers use celestial time (also called sidereal time) to find celestial bodies in the sky. And because the earth orbits the sun, the average solar day is four minutes longer than the sidereal day. Therefore, the zodiac sign at 9 o'clock shows that the dome of the sky rolled the earth in only 23 hours and 56 minutes. Although the human eye can barely see this difference, it is a testament to the precision eye crafted by Girard Perregaux.

In order to make the Cosmos Infinity Edition more attractive, Neo Bridge is made of space age grade 5 titanium alloy, and is treated with black PVD, sandblasted and manually chamfered. The bridge presented at the bottom of the main board also clearly shows the tourbillon cage, balance wheel and escapement.

The layout of Cosmos Infinity Edition is very reasonable, all complications are symmetrically distributed. The dial and globe use hand-polished black black agate to symbolize the depth of the universe and its infinite mystery. In order to keep the display clean, the back of the timepiece is equipped with an innovative pocket watch winding and setting system. The setting system has three engraved patterns, all filled with luminous ceramics to indicate the function of each Bellier or bow.swiss Replica Watches

The same concept of "Haute Horlogerie" has been applied to the interior of the Cosmos Infinity Edition. Its Calibre GP09320-1440 movement has the same manual chamfering function as the titanium Neo Bridge. Its main board has been treated with black PVD and further decorated with a circular texture.

The back cover of the display uses flat sapphire crystal glass, while the front side uses a sapphire crystal glass box, which allows three-dimensional observation of the dial.

Dark matter
Last but not least, Girard-Perregaux's Infinity Edition is the new Laureato Infinity Edition. This watch also celebrates the exclusive distribution agreement with WEMPE in Germany and retailers' flagship stores in New York and London for a certain period of time.

In 1975, Girard-Perregaux became one of the first brands to adopt Laureato to embrace sporty elegance-chic timepieces with octagonal bezels, stainless steel cases and bracelets.

Laureato is a very versatile watch. Initially, its blend of straight and curved lines, coupled with polished and satin-finished surfaces, meant that it could be moved easily during office hours and after get off work.

Now, its versatility means that Laureato can easily adapt to our changing times. Laureato Infinity Edition offers 38mm and 42mm stainless steel options, and comes with a hand-made black onyx dial.

The silver, baton-shaped hour and minute hands firmly grasp the steel pattern, while the rose gold central seconds hand, practical index and Girard Perregaux logo highlight its luxury. Even more brilliant, the Laureato 38mm bezel is decorated with 56 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling 0.90 carats.

Both versions of Laureato Infinity Edition have an internal self-winding movement and are enhanced with traditional surface treatment and rose gold oscillating weight.chronosale.co
