Limited Edition of 100 Pieces
Revealed as a concept watch at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in January 2019, Carbon Glass is materialized today with the chronograph Laureato Absolute Rock.
Carbon Glass is at the core of the new timepiece. Unlike any other manufacturing process of other types of carbon, this innovation guarantees full water resistance. Its patented manufacturing process involves an extreme compression of the materials during an injection procedure at high temperature. Aesthetically, unlike other types of carbon, it results in a smooth and uniform texture on all its surfaces. The integration of blue fibers associated to those of the carbon makes every one of the 100 pieces launched truly unique.
Another breakthrough innovation lies in its very high resistance, the carbon glass being 100 times more resistant than steel; without compromising on its lightness with a density close to 1 when steel is at about 8 and titanium 4.5.
Technical Specifications:
The case, in carbon glass, measures 44mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal, a caseback engraved and lacquered with the Laureato Absolute logo, and it is water resistant to 100 meters.
Movement is the Swiss automatic Girard-Perregaux in-house caliber GP03300-1058 with 63 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 46 hours. Functions are: hours, minutes, small seconds, date, and chronograph.
The dial is composed of two superimposed, hollowed plates: the one on top in black matte finish. SuperLuminova hour markers and baton-type hands.
It comes on a black rubber strap with ‘fabric-effect’, blue top-stitching and a PVD titanium triple-folding clasp with micro-adjustment system.
