The Laureato Absolute Aston Martin F1® Edition
is housed in a 44 mm case formed of Grade 5 titanium

This year, continuing the motorsport theme, Aston Martin Aramco F1® will line up on the F1® grid as Formula One celebrates it 75th anniversary. The English luxury marque and the Swiss Manufacture are now pleased to unveil the Laureato Absolute Aston Martin F1® Edition, a model incorporating a racing-inspired green dial and a high-performance in-house Manufacture movement.

LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION

The Laureato Absolute Aston Martin F1® Edition is housed in a 44 mm case formed of Grade 5 titanium. Familiar to both the British Formula One brand and Swiss Manufacture, this material is often selected for its low mass and notable strength.

It is also corrosion resistant, non-magnetic and hypoallergenic; attributes that are particularly beneficial for watchmaking. In this instance, the titanium has been sandblasted, imbuing the alloy with a subtle texture that confers a sublime tactility.

ASTON MARTIN RACING GREEN

Executed in Aston Martin Racing Green, the dial hue reinforces the automotive theme. The Aston Martin hour and minute hands are partially openworked and were inspired by the front grille widely found adorning the car marque’s road cars, such as the iconic DB12. They are also lined with luminescent material, aiding readability in restricted light conditions.

Each hour is denoted with an applied index, again incorporating luminescent treatment. The centre seconds hand and date display, executed in lime green, a hue that graces the Aston Martin Formula One car, complete the inventory of functions.

A GREEN FKM RUBBER STRAP
THAT YEARNS TO BE TOUCHED

To complement the case, the Laureato Absolute Aston Martin F1® Edition is presented on a green FKM rubber fabric-effect strap that has been optimally designed to deliver a superb feel. Both companies chose FKM rubber as it is more flexible, less prone to fading and offers superior wear-resistance when contrasted with conventional rubber.

The strap is fitted with a titanium folding clasp with a micro-adjustment system, allowing the wearer to finely adjust the strap to achieve the perfect fit. Indeed, it is the soft and supple nature of the strap, together with the ergonomic clasp, that make this watch a comfortable companion, ideally suited to daily wear.

EMINENTLY STYLISH
WHEREVER IT GOES

Consistent with all Laureato models, the case design masterfully unites contrasting shapes to glorious effect. Executed in Aston Martin Racing Green, the dial incorporates lime and white accents, while the caseback is engraved with the British marque’s iconic emblem.

Suitable for adventure, the Laureato Absolute Aston Martin F1® Edition looks eminently stylish wherever it goes. With its simple to read dial and 300 metre water resistance, the watch also proves notably practical.

AN IMPRESSIVE
POWERPLANT

Ticking beneath the solid caseback is an in-house Manufacture movement, the GP03300 calibre. Crafted at the company’s production facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the self-winding movement is optimally shaped for the Laureato model. It features an oscillating weight adorned with circular Côtes de Genève motif.

Additional movement refinements include straight Côtes de Genève on the bridges, bevelling, mirror-polished screws, circular graining on the main plate and engraved gilded text, all executed to the company’s no-compromise standards.

"Over the years, the Laureato has evolved, embracing an array of dial colours, case materials and complications."

 The Laureato Absolute Aston Martin F1® Edition is limited to 88 pieces. It will go on sale 20 March 2025 and will be available worldwide.

GIRARD-PERREGAUX – LAUREATO Chronograph Aston Martin Titanium Edition

 

GIRARD-PERREGAUXLAUREATO Chronograph Titanium 42мм Aston Martin Edition - 2025

Aston Martin and Girard-Perregaux are both synonymous with creations that touch the soul, heighten emotions, and awaken the senses. Now, the British luxury marque and the Swiss Manufacture have designed a watch that will give the owner an experience rich in sensations. The Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition sports an exclusive feature: an iridescent dial created with automotive paint, inspired by the colours of British sports cars, which adorn Aston Martin’s iconic vehicles. Its creation required a brand-new and highly complex process.

A HISTORY
OF ORCHESTRATING EMOTIONS

Enter the cockpit of a modern DB12 and everything is designed to heighten the intensity of the driving experience. Sight, sound, smell and touch; every facet of an Aston Martin is designed to orchestrate human emotions and deliver an intense, singular ownership experience. Now, with this in mind, Aston Martin and Girard-Perregaux have created a watch designed to arouse emotions and stimulate the human senses.

The new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition is optimally designed to thrill onlookers. Each facet of the vibrantly hued dial and lightweight multifaceted titanium bodywork engages with light, evincing a variety of shades.

IT’S GREEN BUT WITH A TWIST

The Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition features a dial executed in an arresting shade of green. Created using a rare technology and employing much expertise, the dial is enlivened with an iridescent automotive paint, applied using an intricate process. Its fabrication involves 14 manufacturing steps alone, while the eye-catching hue is achieved by applying 15 ultrathin layers of paint to the dial surface and subjecting it to two cooking cycles to achieve the desired look. The tolerances involved in creating the paint for a watch are much smaller than those employed in the automotive sector and involve a protracted filtration method to eradicate any residual grains that could potentially mar the overall aesthetic.

Green has always been synonymous with British sportscars, adorning iconic Aston Martin cars on road and track over the years and being today the most popular colour choice amongst enthusiasts of the British marque. In this instance, Girard-Perregaux has reimagined an iridescent shade of green favoured by the car marque, creating a distinctive hue all of its own. Endowed with a dynamic character, the dial subtly plays with light and appears to transition from green to orange when viewed from different angles. The dial’s appearance makes a bold statement, but then again the Laureato has always stood out from the crowd, captivating horophiles since 1975 with its masterful blend of shapes and finishes.

TITANIUM:
LOW MASS AND HIGH PERFORMANCE

With a rich history of making high performance cars, Aston Martin clearly understands the importance of mitigating kerb weight. Over the years, it has created models using tubular fabrication methods as well as lightweight materials. The British marque’s know-how has seen it make strong, stiff (essential for handling) and light sports cars capable of delivering breathtaking performance. Likewise, Girard-Perregaux has also created several timepieces made of lightweight materials, including forged carbon. On this occasion, Grade 5 titanium has been selected for the new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition. The metal is light, strong, stiff, corrosion resistant, non-magnetic and hypoallergenic; all useful attributes for watchmaking.

Upholding Laureato tradition, the case and bracelet feature brushed and polished surfaces to deliver an alluring contrast. For example, the circular plinth, case facets, chronograph pushers as well as the central links of the bracelet are all presented in gleaming form.

BEHIND THE WHEEL

When sat behind the wheel of a high performance supercar, the driver should ‘feel at one’ with the vehicle. Ergonomics are important; all controls should fall to hand. The handling should inspire confidence and the instruments should be simple to interpret. Likewise, the dial of the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition proves intuitive to read. It features skeletonised hands, inspired by the distinctive front grille found on the British marque’s cars, while the indexes and counters have been suffused with grey-toned PVD treatment, echoing the hue of the titanium case.

The hour and minute hands are partially openworked and collaborate with faceted applied batons. Both the hands and indexes are lined with white luminescent material and emit a green glow in dim light. Three snailed counters, namely, a 30-minute chronograph register, a 12-hour chronograph register and a small seconds display, punctuate the dial.

The central chronograph seconds hand features a black tip that reaches out to the minute track positioned on a flange fringing the dial. A date display, located between 4 and 5 o’clock, completes the inventory of functions. The GP name is presented in white text near the top of the dial with the brand’s logo positioned adjacent, presented in relief.

AN IMPRESSIVE POWERPLANT

At the heart of the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition ticks an in-house Manufacture movement, the GP03300 calibre. Visible via a sapphire caseback, bearing the Aston Martin logo, the movement is crafted at the company’s production facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds and is optimally shaped for the Laureato model.

Additional movement refinements include straight Côtes de Genève on the bridges, bevelling, mirror-polished screws, circular graining on the main plate and engraved gilded text, all executed to the company’s nocompromise standards.

THE LAUREATO STORY

In the 70s, a number of companies synonymous with Haute Horlogerie released elegant steel watches fitted with integrated steel bracelets. However, Girard-Perregaux was the only Manufacture to design and develop its elegant steel watch fully in-house.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

From the outset, the Laureato has always been equipped with an in-house movement, affording the Manufacture the creative freedom to design a watch devoid of compromise. Indeed, Girard-Perregaux differentiates itself from most watch companies by adopting a holistic approach to the design of the dial, case and movement, a rare approach that it has followed since 1867 when Constant Girard conceived the legendary Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO


Now, the Manufacture, working in close cooperation with Aston Martin, has crafted a neoteric expression of the Laureato that’s made to perform and born to race. The Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition will go on sale on the 19th of February 2025 and will be available worldwide.

"Over the years, the Laureato has evolved, embracing an array of dial colours, case materials and complications. "

GIRARD-PERREGAUX – LAUREATO Tourbillon Exclusive Bucherer Edition

 

GIRARD-PERREGAUXLAUREATO Tourbillon Titanium 43мм Exclusive Bucherer Edition - 2025

 Bucherer Exclusive | Haute Horlogerie Collection
Three Houses, A Trilogy of Craftsmanship

Bucherer unveils all the craftsmanship of this independent brand through a legendary timepiece. Indeed, the Laureato, born 50 years ago, imagined, and created in the manufacture from day one. Since then, this collection has continued to evolve while preserving its strong DNA, including its octagonal bezel and the satin and polished finishes that are part of it. The Bucherer Exclusive Laureato Tourbillon is no exception, with its iconic design and the integration of the tourbillon.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

This horological mechanism holds a special place in the heart of the brand, which unveiled a three-bridge tourbillon in 1867. In its titanium case, known for its lightness, beats the GP09510 caliber. This automatic movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 47 hours. Thanks to a micro-rotor, the timepiece is only 11 mm thick despite the tourbillon, which once again showcases the great craftsmanship of this traditional Maison.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

It is driven by the proprietary GP 09510-0002 movement of which the Tourbillon with its lyre-shaped carriage is composed of 81 parts weighing just 0.44 grams. This movement features automatic winding – in this instance enabled by a micro-rotor designed in such a way that it does not block the view of the movement’s beauty. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Playing a starring role in this fascinating show, an arrow-shaped bridge holds the Tourbillon at 6 o’clock and thus imparts an immediately recognisable signature. In keeping with the aesthetic choices behind the development of the Laureato Tourbillon, this bridge is made of titanium. The entire movement is graced with finishes – chamfering, polishing, Côtes de Genève, circular graining – performed by the expert hands of in-house artisans.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Its dial, featuring a Clous de Paris pattern, is animated by an anthracite grey hue developed exclusively for Bucherer. The colours present on the dial capture the light, revealing all its nuances, along with the tourbillon. Luxury lies in the details, and the back of the watch reveals its share of excellence with a movement featuring various decorations, including Geneva stripes and perlage finishing.

This refined timepiece, made even lighter thanks to its titanium case and bracelet, is limited to only eight pieces and specially engraved with "Bucherer 1888".

GIRARD-PERREGAUX – BRIDGES Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges Pink Gold 2024

GIRARD-PERREGAUXBRIDGES Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges Pink Gold 2024

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, a city dedicated to watchmaking, the Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges draws on the talents of the Maison’s craftspeople and watchmakers. The location of the Manufacture is optimised to harness light, a resource that has also influenced the design of this contemporary high complication, an ultra-refined expression of Haute Horlogerie. The skeletonised torso of this model masterfully plays with three dimensional shapes, conferring an aerial perspective of the eponymous three gold bridges that seemingly float in a light-filled case.

An abundance of light

La Chaux-de-Fonds, once described as a ‘huge factory town’, has been dedicated to watchmaking since the 18th century and is now a Unesco World Heritage site. In 1856, Girard-Perregaux opened its inaugural Manufacture in the city. Today, the company is still headquartered in the city with its Manufacture located on Rue Numa Droz.

After suffering a devastating fire in the 18th century, La Chaux-de-Fonds was rebuilt with the help of a local engineer, Charles-Henri Junod. Purposely designed for watchmaking, the wide streets are arranged in a grid, tiered against the hillside. The tall buildings incorporate large windows, designed to drink in light, illuminating the workbenches where fine timepieces are made. The city and the surrounding area continue to imbue each Girard-Perregaux timepiece with a distinctive character, much loved by watch aficionados.

The location of the manufacture is optimised to harness light, a resource that has also influenced the design of this contemporary high complication, an ultra-refined expression of haute horlogerie. The skeletonised torso of this model masterfully plays with three dimensional shapes, conferring an aerial perspective of the eponymous three gold bridges that seemingly float in a light-filled case.

New, yet familiar

During the 1860s, Constant Girard began sketching ideas for a new pocket watch equipped with three bridges. He redefined the role of a bridge from being merely a structural movement component to an aesthetic feature as well. When, in 1867, he unveiled a pocket tourbillon watch, endowed with three parallel nickel silver bridges, he introduced to watchmaking a new design philosophy, embracing both shapes and depths. Later, in 1889, the specification of the bridges was elevated to using noble metal with the release of the famous Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges; widely considered one of the oldest mechanical signatures in watchmaking.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

In 2021, the manufacture released an avant-garde timepiece, the Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges, an expression of haute horlogerie that artfully harnesses natural light. Crafted in the company’s Grand Complications Atelier and inspired by the famous pocket watch of 1889, this contemporary creation featured an ingenious movement construction.

Beyond functionality

Eschewing a conventional mainplate, the eponymous bridges not only support the geartrain, barrel and tourbillon, but also provide the essential structural integrity for the remainder of the movement. Appearing to float mid-air, the bridges are braced by neat, openworked plinths that project from the interior wall of the case. Due to the absence of a conventional dial, the indexes are affixed to the case, fulfilling a functional role while preserving the airy appearance of the watch’s interior.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Subscribing to a philosophy of continuous improvement, the maison has recently revisited the Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges and made several improvements to its specification.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 


One of the updates for 2024 relates to the indexes which are a new design and include twin batons at noon. The sapphire crystals, positioned front and rear, remain ‘box’ style but are now more curved and, when viewed from the side, appear more symmetrical. A larger crown, endowed with a rounder shape, proves easier to manipulate, while the overall design of the Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges has been refined to incorporate smoother contours.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 


By shortening the lugs and making the middle of the case rounder, the manufacture’s design team has improved wearer comfort, something that will be especially noticeable to individuals with slimmer wrists.

The updated Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges also incorporates some minute changes that may go unnoticed by non-experts. For instance, the hour and minute hands are now satin-finished and incorporate additional Super-LumiNova, augmenting readability in dim light. The watch comes supplied with two straps, a new fabric effect strap, first seen on last year’s groundbreaking Neo Constant Escapement, and an additional black alligator strap enhanced with a gold effect.

Some things never change

While the manufacture has revisited the Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges, first released in 2021, and made subtle improvements, some things remain unchanged. The three gold bridges positioned to the front of the watch remain dressed in black. Girard-Perregaux, a brand known for its nuanced approach to design, presents the trio of gold bridges in a contemporary format. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 


The upper and lower surfaces of the pink gold bridges are dressed in black PVD, while the chamfered edges eschew black coating, revealing a discreet sliver of gleaming pink gold. The flawless execution and notable gleam of each bevelled edge is the product of time-served hands using a small piece of boxwood to achieve the perfect polish; in total, two days of work are required to fully finish the set of three gold Bridges.
