Girard-Perregaux and Aston Martin have once again joined forces to present the latest addition to their prestigious partnership: the new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition. This exquisite timepiece, limited to just 188 pieces, seamlessly blends the horological mastery of Girard-Perregaux with Aston Martin’s storied legacy of luxury and performance.
The sixth collaboration between these two iconic brands since 2021, the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition epitomizes the shared vision of creating an ownership experience that transcends the ordinary. Every element of this new chronograph is designed to evoke the same exhilarating emotion as an Aston Martin on the open road.
Drawing inspiration from Aston Martin’s historic association with the color green—a tradition dating back to the British Racing Green of 1922—the watch’s dial features an iridescent shade meticulously applied through a complex 14-step process. This vibrant hue is not merely a nod to the past but also a reflection of Aston Martin’s contemporary palette, which boasts nine exclusive green shades and bespoke options through Q by Aston Martin.
Crafted with advanced materials that mirror Aston Martin’s innovative engineering, the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition employs grade five titanium— the same material used in the marque’s hypercar, the Valkyrie. The result is a harmonious blend of durability, precision, and comfort. True to Laureato’s heritage, the watch's case and bracelet showcase a captivating contrast of brushed and polished surfaces, highlighting the maison’s exceptional craftsmanship.
Patrick Pruniaux, CEO of Girard-Perregaux, emphasized the collaborative essence behind the watch: “This timepiece, with its unique iridescent color, demonstrates the expertise of our respective industries in mastering excellence. It’s a beautiful continuation of our partnership with Aston Martin, which has borne five exceptional pieces that have evolved in parallel with our collaboration.”
Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin, added, “An Aston Martin is more than a car; it’s an expression of one’s personality, a passion—something that is often shared with the ownership of a watch.”
Available now at selected Girard-Perregaux retailers worldwide, the new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition is not just a watch but a statement—one that celebrates the art of design, the thrill of precision, and the joy of exceptional craftsmanship.
