Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38
As with any bracelet, an integrated one plays a central role in shaping a watch’s personality. It can signal whether a timepiece leans sporty or refined, retro or futuristic. Though the style was born from sportier origins, helping launch the luxury sports watch genre, watchmakers are increasingly incorporating integrated bracelets into more
formal pieces, including those in precious metals or with gemstone accents. Early integrated bracelet watches were often permanently fixed to the case, limiting versatility. Today, many brands have found ways to retain the seamless look while allowing for bracelet and strap swaps, giving wearers the best of both worlds.
With the growing appetite for integrated bracelets, watchmakers are finding ways to reimagine the style across a wider range of designs. From minimalist time-only models to intricate complications, this cohesive construction has become a flexible design language that combines technical sophistication with strong visual identity.
