Laine GG3 Gelidus 3 SS Salmon Guilloche Dial

The Laine GG3 Gelidus 3 Salmon Guilloche is a masterful creation exemplifying the rising star of Finnish independent watchmaking, Torsti Laine. Rendered in 40.5mm stainless steel and boasting a 49.5mm lug-to-lug span, its standout feature is the hand-crafted salmon guilloche dial—a marvel of detailed artistry for connoisseurs seeking exclusivity and refinement. The stylized silver Arabic numerals and heat-blued steel hands imbue the dial with timeless clarity while highlighting the artisanal approach Laine brings to each piece. Powering the GG3 is the manual wind Laine caliber LA18.1, a movement celebrated for its robust finish options and highly decorated plates, merging technical precision with visual intrigue. The total thickness sits at a harmonious 11.3mm, balancing modern proportions with vintage-inspired charm. Water resistance is functional, though specific depth ratings are elusive, underscoring its focus as an haute horlogerie dress watch. Positioned as a compelling alternative to mainstream luxury, the Laine GG3 draws seasoned collectors keen on independent craftsmanship and the tactile luxury of traditional techniques. The brown leather strap completes the ensemble, delivering ergonomic comfort matched to the sophisticated aesthetic. Rarity, dial execution, and movement quality place this Laine among the most collectible contemporary independents, warranting the attention of anyone seeking distinction beyond established Swiss marques.
