Girard-Perregaux Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition Watch

Swiss watchmaker Girard-Perregaux and British luxury sports car manufacturer Aston Martin have come together once again to create a masterpiece, the exquisite "Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition" timepiece. This collaboration marks the fifth partnership between the two iconic brands and promises to be nothing short of exceptional. Limited to just 250 examples, this watch is a true collector's item.

Drawing inspiration from Aston Martin's groundbreaking DB12, the world's first "Super Tourer" car, the timepiece reflects the car's elegance and innovation. Notable design features include a mesmerizing skeletonized dial that proudly unveils the watch's intricate functional components, some of which subtly display co-branding. A subtle nod to Aston Martin's identity can be observed through the accents of emerald green and luminescent treated hands, paying homage to the automaker's signature green hue.

The Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition joins Girard-Perregaux's esteemed Bridges collection, which dates back to 1867 when Constant Girard crafted a pocket watch with three parallel bridges. This edition, however, presents a contemporary twist by showcasing the movement's components in an inverted configuration, adding a modern touch to a rich heritage.

Patrick Pruniaux, the CEO of Girard-Perregaux, expressed the collaborative nature of this endeavor, stating, "This was not merely a case of putting Aston Martin's name on one of our watches. They played an active role in the conception of this watch, looking at the materials employed and, interestingly the design of the movement. The Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition is the impressive outcome of two companies remarkable result of two companies synergistically working together."

Encased in a 45mm diameter titanium case with a sleek black DLC coating, this watch exemplifies sophistication and durability. Limited to only 250 pieces, each one is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that both Girard-Perregaux and Aston Martin are renowned for. The Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition watch will be available starting in December, retailing for $37,700 USD, and can be purchased from authorized Girard-Perregaux dealers.
