Партньорството беше разкрито за първи път в началото на 2021 г. и наистина, истинското приятелство, създадено между Girard-Perregaux и Aston Martin, доведе до създаването на нов часовник, Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition. Неговият стил майсторски си играе с форми, текстури и светлина, пригоден за тези, които ценят лукса и производителността. Заедно двете компании имат над 330 години натрупано ноу-хау, нещо, което е очевидно, когато се оценяват творенията на двете фирми. Въпреки това, макар да уважават своето наследство, те споделят решително далновидно мислене.
The Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition is the latest creation from Girard-Perregaux, made in collaboration with Aston Martin Lagonda. Its dial is suffused with a delightfully decadent application of what is now known as “Aston Martin Green”, achieved by painstakingly applying paint twenty-one times to the dial, forming seven distinct layers of paint as a result. The automotive influences also encompass cross-hatching, a diamond-like pattern first seen with the carmaker’s ‘AM’ logo (1921 – 1926). This motif was also inspired by the quilted seats found in the British brand’s numerous high-performance sports cars. A pane of sapphire crystal, positioned to the rear of the watch, affords sight of the automatic, Manufacture movement, the Calibre GP03300-0141, marking the first time a Laureato Chronograph features an open caseback.

Girard-Perregaux has fitted this emblematic case with its self-winding chronograph movement, driving two counter and small seconds as well as a date display. As well as guaranteeing impeccably accurate timekeeping, it is distinguished by its comfortable power reserve and the particularly smooth activation of its pushers. Its horological qualities are complemented by exemplary finishing including “Côtes de Genève”, chamfering and straight graining, all stemming from the multiple skills cultivated within the Manufacture.
