To date, two watches have been unveiled in partnership with the automotive branch: the Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges Aston Martin Edition and the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition. The Three Flying Bridges cost more than an Aston Martin V8 Vantage when it was unveiled. But a new watch has been unveiled as the first involving Aston Martin's F1 team, the Laureato Absolute Chronograph AM F1 Edition.

Last year, Lance Stroll put his F1 car into the wall at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after a tire blowout, likely providing one of the donor cars, while Sebastian Vettel's car was probably the other donor.
These two elements are combined using a high-tech manufacturing process and mixed with a tinted resin. Girard-Perregaux claims this is a world-first in the watch industry and that the resulting material is more robust than steel. In addition to having an actual piece of an F1 car embedded in the case, each watch will have its own visual identity, making it a truly unique one-off item.

"Working together has led to some innovative and interesting ideas, culminating in creating new exciting products. However, with this latest watch, we sought to work closely with the F1 side of the brand, focusing more on the idea of performance." Girard-Perregaux Girard-Perregaux "As a team, we have the determination to succeed - and that ambition requires us to analyze every element of our performance package. That includes managing the materials we use to build our cars, measuring their weight their strength, all in a bid to find that critical extra thousandth of a second in lap-time.

In his current role as senior editor, he writes news, reviews, scripts, and opinion pieces. When he’s not supposed to be working, you’ll probably find him working.
