芝柏錶推出8款全新腕錶/ GIRARD-PERREGAUX lunched 8 watches in Geneva Watch Days
瑞士製品商芝柏錶在日內瓦鐘錶日（Geneva Watch Days）一口氣推出了8款全新腕錶，這八款包含了Cosmos Infinity 腕錶、Free Bridge 腕錶、Free Bridge Infinity 腕錶、Laureato Infinity 腕錶、Vintage 1945 Infinity 腕錶，以及1966 Infinity 腕錶。
Cosmos Infinity 腕錶
Cosmos Infinity 腕錶配備三種複雜功能。一，七弦琴狀的陀飛輪框架由 GP 芝柏表標誌性的「Neo Bridge 新板橋」固定。其次，3 點鐘位置的地球儀可顯示晝夜，獨具特色，相當引人注目。另外，天象儀顯示黃道十 二星座。兩個球體均由拋光縞瑪瑙製成，並以微繪工藝全手工裝飾。每個球體上都用上手工工藝以玫瑰金材質裝飾，與極具光澤的黑色縞瑪瑙形成絕妙對比。每個球體的手繪裝飾均可根據個人喜好而進行個性化定製。腕錶內部搭載 GP09320-1440 型號機芯並採用豐富的高級表面打磨工藝，不負「高級製表」之名。設於主夾板底部的鈦金屬 Neo Bridge 板橋經過黑色 PVD 鍍層、噴砂以及手工倒角工藝處理。同時，主夾板本身也使用了黑色 PVD 鍍層，另外還進行了珍珠圓點打磨紋、噴砂和倒角工藝處理。Cosmos Infinity 腕錶的藍寶石水晶玻璃錶鏡採用了「盒狀」，使錶盤以三維立體形式生動示人，與扁平的錶底蓋上的藍寶石水晶玻璃形成奇妙對比。要將錶鏡塑成拱形並進行拋光，所需材料比平時多出四至五倍。
Free Bridge 腕錶 & Free Bridge Infinity 腕錶
Free Bridge腕錶與Free Bridge Infinity腕錶均配有一種時針板橋，它將觀者目光吸引至發條盒與振動的平衡擺輪上。在Free Bridge腕錶上，時針板橋經過緞面磨砂與手工倒角處理；而Free Bridge Infinity腕錶上的時針板橋則由縞瑪瑙製成，呈現極致純黑的質感。時針板橋幹練的直型線條與表殼的圓潤弧線形成鮮明反差。Free Bridge腕錶採用44毫米精鋼表殼，而Free Bridge Infinity 腕錶則採用DLC鍍層，神祕低調。
Free Bridge腕錶採用鏤空太子妃式指針，配合懸浮的時標指示時間。懸浮的時標進一步增強了腕錶的三維立體設計。Free Bridge Infinity 腕錶用上金色調的交替變換營造不同格調。兩款腕表錶均配備顏色相配的錶帶，靠近表耳的錶帶兩端分別飾有鮮明縫線，縫線與錶帶顏色形成對比之美。這個設計將繼續發展成為GP芝柏錶的標誌性元素。
Laureato Infinity 腕錶
Laureato桂冠系列Infinity腕錶備有38毫米和42毫米兩款呎吋。錶款採用精鋼表殼，黑色縞瑪瑙錶盤像是時標的閃耀舞台。銀色短棒形時針和分針配合精鋼表殼的外觀，而中央秒針、鑲貼時標及GP標誌全部採用玫瑰金材質，增強奢華感。日期顯示以黑色底盤烘托白色數字，與錶盤整體色調和諧匹配。38毫米Laureato桂冠腕錶的表圈以56顆明亮型切割鑽石裝飾，總重約0.90克拉。
Laureato桂冠系列Infinity腕錶搭載品牌自家自動上弦機芯，表面經傳統修飾工藝處理，配備玫瑰金擺陀。承襲Laureato桂冠系列的傳統，腕錶全面採用緞面與拋光修飾交替。錶殼與表鏈的拋光需要極為謹慎，以確保每一種類型的表面工藝都清晰細緻。凸起的八角形表圈上，凹凸面交替，與光線追逐交織，形成美輪美奐的光影之舞。
Vintage 1945 Infinity 腕錶
Vintage 1945系列Infinity腕錶採用36.10 x 35.25毫米長方形精鋼錶殼，而1966系列Infinity腕錶女士與男士款分別為30與40毫米直徑的圓形錶殼。每款新作均憑藉GP芝柏錶自1791年創立以來不斷積累而專業技藝而獨樹一幟。
Vintage 1966 Infinity 腕錶
1966系列Infinity腕錶簡潔鮮明，外型獨當一面，纖薄錶殼搭配圓形表盤、葉形指針和玫瑰金時標。該錶配套提供皮質錶帶與錶殼無縫融合。透明底蓋讓自動上弦機芯及玫瑰金擺陀一覽無遺。12點鐘位置飾以玫瑰金材質的品牌名稱縮寫，令腕錶整體設計一氣呵成。
Swedish watch brand GIRARD-PERREGAUX launched 8 new watches in Geneva Watch Days, includes Cosmos Infinity, Free Bridge, Free Bridge Infinity, Laureato Infinity, Vintage 1945 Infinity and 1966 Infinity.
Cosmos Infinity
The Cosmos Infinity Edition features no less than three exceptional complications. Firstly, a lyre-shaped Tourbillon cage is held in position by Girard-Perregaux’s signature ‘Neo Bridge’. Secondly, a terrestrial globe, positioned at 3 o’clock, proves an eye-catching means of conveying whether the indicated time is day or night. And thirdly, a celestial globe displays the constellations of the Zodiac. Both globes are formed of polished onyx and are hand-decorated using micro-painting. This artisanal technique involves the application of pink gold to each globe, bestowing a sublime contrast with the glossy black onyx stone. The hand-painting of each globe can be personalised on request.
Free Bridge & Free Bridge Infinity
Both the Free Bridge and the Free Bridge Infinity Edition feature an hour bridge which draws the onlookers gaze to the barrel and the oscillating balance wheel. On the Free Bridge, this hour bridge is satin-finished and hand-bevelled, while the hour bridge on the Free Bridge Infinity Edition is formed of onyx, a material which exhibits the darkest shade of intense black. The hour bridge encompasses straight lines which sit in contrast with the arcing lines of the case. The Free Bridge is housed in a 44mm steel case, while its counterpart, the Free Bridge Infinity Edition, assumes a stealthy appearance courtesy of its DLC treatment.
The Free Bridge features skeletonised Dauphine-style hands that collaborate with suspended indexes to impart the prevailing time. The suspended indexes reinforce the model’s three-dimensional design language. The Free Bridge Infinity Edition employs golden hues to deliver an alternative persona. The colour-coordinated strap on both models is enriched with two prominent stitches adjacent to each lug, presented in a contrasting shade. Moving forward, this design element will become a recurring GP signature design element.
Laureato Infinity
Laureato Infinity Edition features an in-house self-winding movement, enhanced with traditional finishing and a pink gold oscillating weight. Consistent with Laureato tradition, alternating satin and polished finishes feature throughout. Great care is required when polishing the case and bracelet to ensure each type of finish is discrete with crisp delineation. The raised octagonal bezel features convex and concave surfaces which toy with light, culminating in alternating pockets of brilliance and shade.
Vintage 1945 Infinity
The Vintage 1945 Infinity is housed in a steel case measuring 36.10 x 35.25 mm, while the 1966 Infinity is available in a 30 mm case for ladies, with a 40 mm version for men. Each of them draws upon GirardPerregaux’s vast expertise, amassed since the company’s foundation in 1791.
Vintage 1966 Infinity
The 1966 Infinity Edition’s pure appearance is manifest, courtesy of its slender case, round dial, leaf-shaped hands and pink gold indexes – classic features in every sense. It is supplied with a matching leather strap perfectly integrated with the case. Furthermore, a see-through case-back affords views of the self-winding movement and accompanying pink gold oscillating weight. The company’s monogram is presented at 12 o’clock in pink gold, completing this artistic ensemble.
