The Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges marks the first offering from the new partnership between luxury watchmaker Girard-Perregaux and British car designer Aston Martin. This new timepiece “unites the watchmaking expertise of Girard-Perregaux with Aston Martin’s unique knowledge of luxury and performance,” a statement from Aston Martin reads. Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges comes in a Grade 5 titanium, 44 mm case selected by Aston Martin for its lightweight properties. It’s been coated in DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), creating a sleek, black appearance. The watch has a classic three bridge construction that is similar to the design Girard-Perregaux first introduced back in the 19th century. Girard-Perregaux Girard-Perregaux Girard-Perregaux A sapphire crystal ‘box’ collects light in the front and rear of the watch augmenting readability, while the three bridges are crafted from titanium with black PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) treatment and polished angles. Couple this with the tourbillon cage composed of 79 components with a blue hand attached to count the seconds, and you have a thrilling timepiece merging the classic style of Girard-Perregaux with the luxury feel of Aston Martin. Aston Martin’s name is engraved into the automatic, white gold micro-rotor and is filled with white luminescent treatment. The indexes and hands have also been given this treatment, meaning they emit a blue glow in dim light. “We are delighted to partner with Aston Martin, entrusting their team with arguably our most iconic timepiece, delivering a fresh perspective on Haute Horlogerie,” Patrick Pruniaux, CEO of Girard-Perregaux, said. “Rarely do we work with others to reinterpret the Three Bridges, however, on this occasion, we have made an exception, mindful of Aston Martin’s prowess for design.” “When viewing the design of an Aston Martin, you will note the firm’s distinctive front grille, first seen on the DB Mark III of the late 50s. Likewise, the scoops and side strakes found on the company’s modern-day models are functional elements, intended to improve airflow while enriching the overall appearance of each car.” Girard-Perregaux Girard-Perregaux Girard-Perregaux Girard-Perregaux “At Girard-Perregaux we share a similar philosophy. For example, when the Maison released the now-legendary Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges in 1867, it transformed three functional elements into attractive aesthetic features and demonstrated an approach that we continue to employ today. Finally, this latest partnership provides a fascinating chapter in Girard-Perregaux’s 230-year history.” Only 18 of Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges – Aston Martin Edition are available with a price tag of $146,000 USD. grand-perregaux.com
