Luxury watchmaker Girard-Perregaux has once again teamed up with Aston Martin to create a timepiece that embodies the elegance, performance, and craftsmanship of both brands. The result is the 42mm titanium Laureato Chronograph, a watch that merges automotive and horological artistry in a stunning, high-performance package.
The highlight of this new collaboration is its intricately designed dial, which undergoes a meticulous 14-step finishing process and is treated with 15 layers of automotive-grade paint. This technique creates a mesmerizing iridescent green effect that shifts between shades of orange and green depending on the viewing angle. The dynamic finish reflects the cutting-edge materials and precision engineering found in Aston Martin’s vehicles.
Beyond its striking dial, the Laureato Chronograph is housed in a 42mm titanium case featuring Girard-Perregaux’s signature cushioned octagonal shape. This distinctive form balances sportiness with refined elegance, making it a fitting tribute to Aston Martin’s rich racing heritage. The triple-chronograph subdials further enhance the timepiece’s functionality, reinforcing its status as a precision instrument.
The deep green hue of the watch is a deliberate nod to British racing history. As Girard-Perregaux explains, “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 color choice amongst enthusiasts of the British marque.” The collaboration seamlessly fuses automotive inspiration with Swiss watchmaking mastery, resulting in a timepiece that is both visually stunning and technically superior.
At its heart, the Laureato Chronograph is powered by a self-winding chronograph movement, ensuring impeccable timekeeping. This mechanism, housed within the lightweight yet robust titanium case, provides durability without compromising on elegance. The watch’s superior build quality and attention to detail make it a true collector’s piece.
This latest collaboration marks another chapter in the ongoing partnership between Girard-Perregaux and Aston Martin. Previous releases have celebrated the automaker’s legacy, including a series of ceramic watches inspired by a 1920s Aston Martin logo. With the Laureato Chronograph, the duo continues to blend high-performance engineering with timeless luxury.
The Girard-Perregaux x Aston Martin Laureato Chronograph is available through authorized retailers worldwide, with a price tag of $22,700. Whether worn on the wrist of a watch aficionado or an Aston Martin enthusiast, this timepiece is a perfect fusion of innovation, heritage, and style.
