Let’s be real here. Ever since we saw the new Laureato last year, we knew the chronograph version was inevitable. After all, what’s a luxury sports watch without the option of the default sports complication? There’s no doubt that this good-looking sporty option is the brand’s commercial focus, so it makes sense that a veritable … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It’s … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: 6 of the best new Zenith releases of 2018 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
