As the summer approaches, you are going to start looking into your wardrobe for the places you need to upgrade. One of the often overlooked areas to update is the watch. Now, as a self-proclaimed chronophile, I will admit I am a little biased. But the truth is, your watch can elevate your summer wardrobe better than anything else you buy. Today’s number one watch you should be looking at to upgrade is the newest release by Girard-Perregaux, the Laureato Chronograph 42.
The truth is, brown is a hard color for a watch guy who is into style. Most of us tend to stick with black or brown leather and silver for our dress watches, and silver bracelets or silicone for our casual watches. The beauty of this release is the hard lean into the brown hues. It looks delightfully patinaed, as if it is fresh from the 70s and your dad’s collection. But the brown silicone band gives it a sharp combination of both sport and elevation, which means you can wear it day or night.
A love letter to the 1970s
The 1970s were a wild time for style. The bridge between the chaotic peace of the flower child and the neon-drenched, big-haired rebellion had no choice but to be its own brand of wild. Everything from leisure suits and bell-bottoms to platform shoes and Elton John’s sunglasses, the 70s rocked their own kind of style. This watch is a love letter to one of the more mild but iconic innovations of the time. The two-toned watch. The combination of stainless steel and rose gold is the perfect throwback to today’s obsession with vintage looks.
