Girard-Perregaux’s expertise in manufacturing watches launches a new addition to the Hawk collection.

The noteworthy new ambassador boasts a powerful, technical chronograph with a pink gold case, and is reinforced with ceramic and rubber components.

The angular, sculptural cases that characterize the timepieces in the Hawk collection have forged the reputation of this sporty and contemporary line.

Respecting these stylistic canons to the tee, the design of the new Chrono Hawk Pink Gold marries the sumptuousness of precious metal with the technical sophistication of black ceramic and rubber.

A case that is both luxurious and innovative presents a polychrome face in which the intensity of the dark components heightens the warmth of the gold. In the same spirit it embraces the novel combinations, with the high-tech rubber strapped encased with alligator.

The case is made up of 62 different parts and demands a high degree of skill to produce.

With a frame fashioned from satin-finished pink gold and measuring 44 mm in diameter, it serves as the basic structure that incorporates the other parts, starting with those made of ceramic and rubber.

The ceramic is extremely resistant to wear and tear with a vickers hardness of 1,400. It is composed of micrograins with a diameter of 0.2 microns, compressed at very high pressure. Because it is scratch-proof, ceramic is used for the bezel, in particular, but also the chronograph push piece parts, including the push piece protectors and the crown.

The dial of the Chrono Hawk Pink Gold displays a motif inspired by the shape of the Girard-Perregaux tourbillon bridges.

It is encircled by a three-dimensional flange graduated with the minutes scale and showcases the indexes striped with bands of luminescent material to enable night reading. The hands are also visible in the dark.
