Continuing a creative journey that includes the celebrated Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin F1 Edition, Girard-Perregaux and Aston Martin now present the iridescent Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition, an exquisite expression of their mutual commitment to elegance, performance, and innovative watchmaking.
The watch, which is made of incredibly durable black ceramic, features a complex openworked movement whose hand-finished geometry embodies the precision engineering and artistic elegance that are hallmarks of Aston Martin’s most exquisite devices.
Design Deep Dive: Black Ceramic and Racing Green
Featuring a circular satin-finished octagonal bezel, horizontally brushed case, and an integrated bracelet true to the Laureato lineage, the design echoes Aston Martin’s seamless blend of form and function.
Finished in a luminous green reminiscent of Aston Martin’s Racing Green, the skeletonised hands and suspended indexes offer high legibility in darkness, while a skeletonised seconds hand sits unobtrusively at 10 o’clock.
The Mechanical Heart: The In-House GP01800 Caliber
At its core beats the in-house GP01800 caliber—a reflection of over 230 years of horological mastery—revealed in full through a skeletonized design that exposes its intricate mechanics, from the mainspring to the hairspring, visible beneath sapphire crystal front and back, the latter proudly bearing a metallized Aston Martin logo.
“Aston Martin and Girard-Perregaux are instantly recognizable in their respective universes. What makes both brands so unique is their pure elegance, sportiness, and design codes that remain consistent over time”, said Mr. Marc Michel-Amadry, Managing Director at Girard-Perregaux.
