Pre-SIHH 2019 - Girard-Perregaux Laureato Perpetual Calendar (Specs & Price)
The?Laureato, since its introduction at the SIHH 2017, has been a great success for?Girard-Perregaux and had allowed it to get?back into the ultra-competitive and oh-so-trendy market of the luxury sports watch. Already existing in an array of models (3-hand, chronograph, tourbillon, skeleton, full ceramic), the brand continues the expansion of this collection by now looking at traditional complications. As a preview of what is to come at the SIHH 2019, meet the new?Girard-Perregaux Laureato Perpetual Calendar, in sporty steel attire.This watch is clearly intended to compete with the AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar and the PP Nautilus 5740G. However, as with the rest of the Laureato collection, this new Perpetual Calendar version is a slightly more “accessible” offering (relatively speaking, of course). That doesn’t mean shortcuts either, as the movement in this watch has great arguments and the design, thanks to an original display, makes a statement. Ad -

Buying Guide: Car and Motorbike Inspired Watches
“Racing is life; anything that happens before or after is just waiting.” Famous words by Michael Delaney, Steve McQueen’s character in the legendary 1971 movie Le Mans. And while there’s far more to life than racing, to a Petrolhead, it does make absolute sense. It’s the thrill of fast-paced cars being pushed on winding roads or, better yet, on a racetrack. The adrenaline of accelerating hard out of a corner, shifting through the gears to hit top speed before inevitably needing to slow down for the next corner. Everything else disappears into the background, and for that single moment in time, all that matters is you, your machine and the asphalt ahead of you. Plus a watch, of course, let’s not forget about watches! With that image now firmly planted in your mind, here are five of the coolest fuel-injected watches that find more than just a little inspiration from two or four wheels, ranging from relatively simple to over-the-top complex.Jacob &

With the end of the year fast approaching, we’ve decided to look at the best models launched by the most productive manufacturers in 2021. Not all brands were equal this year, with most of them playing conservative, either by releasing only evolutions of existing collections or new colours/materials, either by releasing a very limited amount of watches.

Sure, there are some other importa

Video The 2022 TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200
At first, TAG Heuer might not be your go-to brand for a dive watch. The brand is, after all, very much about racing chronographs and motorsport. Think Carrera, Autavia, Monaco, Silverstone, and many more names that bring back memories of great chronograph watches. Yet, since the 1980s and the 2000-series of watches, TAG Heuer is involved in serious dive watches. Following the revamp of the Aquaracer collection in 2021, with the Aquaracer Professional 300 watches, this year the brand adds a new model with the Aquaracer Professional 200 series. Slimmer, thinner, more focused, and quite handsome to look at, these new 40mm models might be the best option in the collection. Let’s discover them in our video review.?We’ve already reviewed the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200, but our video will show you everything you need to know. Just in case, here’s a quick reminder. These new models follow the direction taken by their bigger brother, the Aquaracer Professional 30
