Explore the Girard Perregaux Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges Aston Martin Edition. Discover its DLC titanium case, GP 9400-1683 caliber, and collector reception.

Nicolas (amanico) introduces the inaugural timepiece from the Girard Perregaux and Aston Martin collaboration, a significant moment for both brands. His initial skepticism gives way to appreciation for the design and execution of this limited-edition tourbillon, prompting a discussion on the future direction of this high-profile partnership. This article explores the details and community reception of this important release.

A DLC Titanium 44 mm case, Tourbillon with 3 flying Bridges, limited to 18 pieces, for 139, 000 CHF.

A nice detail, not too show off, the Aston Martin mention on the micro rotor side. Which is luminsecent!

The automatic movement, Cal GP 9400-1683, beating at 21, 600 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of 60 hours. A big movement, with a diameter of 42 mm!

2 straps, one in alligator, the other in cal, with rubber alloy insert, you can see on the third photo.

I was skeptic when I read the collaboration between the tow brands, but I must say I am liking what I am seeing!

You?

Best,

Nicolas

I think it is the most magnificent piece from GP in recent years...

which comes along with an exquisite and fancy presentation case.

I like it, even though black watch is not my thing. Unfortunately the size is too big (inevitable for tourbillon and such).

The alloy strap is particularly stylish and handsome

For sure, with a 42 mm movement, having a slightly bigger case is unavoidable.

The markers look highly original

And the movement of course. I think it is a great start... I much prefer these 18 pieces than say 500 or 1000 of a simple chronograph with a dial logo. Good for GP in this regard!
