The year 2021 brought an exciting partnership that brought together two titans in their respective fields - the prestigious Swiss watchmaker Girard-Perregaux and the iconic British luxury sports car manufacturer Aston Martin.
This exclusive collaboration has resulted in the remarkable limited edition Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition. This exceptional men's luxury watch represents the perfect harmony between Swiss watchmaking precision and British automotive elegance, pushing the boundaries of design and technical excellence to new heights.
A titanium watch with sports car character
When two legends in their respective fields meet, the result can only be something extraordinary. The Girard-Perregaux Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition watch is the epitome of this unique union. The lightweight 45 mm case is made of durable titanium and finished with a sleek black DLC coating that not only ensures a luxurious look, but also exceptional scratch resistance.
Titanium watches are renowned for their lightness and strength - the same qualities prized by Aston Martin sports car designers. Weighing 40% less than steel while maintaining the same strength, titanium is the ideal material to create a watch inspired by the world of high-performance cars. This material makes the Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition extremely comfortable on the wrist, even when worn all day.
The design language inspired by race tracks is evident in every detail of this exceptional Swiss watch. The dynamic lines and precise curves evoke the aerodynamic shape of the legendary Aston Martin cars, while the technical sophistication of the movement recalls the perfection of British car engines.
Signature design at the service of watchmaking excellence
Although the Girard-Perregaux Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition is undoubtedly modern, it respects the brand's famous watchmaking heritage, which dates back to 1791. The stylish design supports the watch's distinctive visual expression, allowing both static and dynamic elements to stand out in perfect symphony.
Strength is a prerequisite for performance - this credo unites the philosophy of both brands, Aston Martin and Girard-Perregaux. In their world, it's not just about beauty, but above all about the precision engineering behind every piece produced. This shared vision is strongly reflected in the final design of the Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition watch.
The colour accentuates the shapes and infuses them with light and shadow, emotion and passion. The Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition uses sophisticated grey-black hues, vibrant rubies and silver wheels to convey information about time, while evoking intense emotions in its wearer. The most striking element is the green components, which evoke the characteristic shades of Aston Martin Green and change in fascinating ways as they interact with the ambient light, giving the watch a completely unique aesthetic.
A men's luxury watch for confident men
The Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition men's luxury watch is designed for men who value distinction and are not afraid to be the centre of attention. The wearer of this exceptional Swiss watch sends a clear signal of his refined taste and sense of technical excellence.
In the current era of digital timepieces, Girard-Perregaux Neo Bridges mechanical watches represent a form of rebellion against transience. They demonstrate that true luxury lies in precision, tradition and craftsmanship that endures for generations. Each example of this watch is made with unfailing attention to the smallest details, making it not only a tool for timekeeping, but above all a work of art on the wrist.
When it comes to luxury, Aston Martin and Girard-Perregaux speak the same language. Both brands understand the importance of consistent design , while constantly looking for innovations that push the boundaries of what is possible. This shared philosophy is rooted in a deep belief that mechanical components should evoke intense emotions - whether it's the roaring engine of a high-performance sports car or the beating heart of a precision Swiss watch.
A unique calibre as a technological jewel
Further developing design ideas from previous collaborative projects, the Neo Bridges Aston Martin collection delivers a fresh look imbued with thoughtful details. The boldest element is the absence of a traditional dial, which gives way to a fully exposed, unique calibre GP08400-2164, which is placed in the front of the watch instead of its usual position on the back.
This calibre is no mere movement - it is a technological gem that represents the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and a power reserve of 50 hours, this automatic movement offers the superb precision and reliability expected from the Girard-Perregaux manufacture.
In keeping with the spirit of the Bridges collection, the functional components of this model contribute to its overall visual appeal. Girard-Perregaux consistently adheres to its tradition where the arrangement of the movement components ensures perfect symmetry, creating a harmonious look that will delight the eye of any mechanical watch lover.

Swiss watches with an unmistakable identity
Swiss watchmaking enjoys a privileged position in the world of luxury timekeeping, and Girard-Perregaux is one of its most important representatives. The history of this manufacture dates back to 1791, making it one of the oldest watch brands still in operation in the world. In its more than 230 years of existence, it has built a reputation synonymous with innovation, precision and craftsmanship excellence.
The Girard-Perregaux Neo Bridges Aston Martin Edition is a direct continuation of this exceptional heritage. Each example is hand-assembled in the Manufacture at La Chaux-de-Fonds, a traditional bastion of Swiss watchmaking. Here, master watchmakers devote dozens of hours of meticulous work to create a timepiece that meets the highest standards.
The unmistakable identity of this Swiss watch stems from its unique movement architecture, which is fully visible thanks to the absence of a traditional dial.
The union of two legends
The Neo Bridges Aston Martin edition not only combines the artistry of two exceptional brands, but also offers a unique look and an unforgettable experience when viewing a precisely engineered calibre. Every flick of the wrist plays out a fascinating play of light, as shades of Aston Martin's signature green colour change and new details of the masterful movement are revealed.
For true connoisseurs and collectors , this men's luxury watch represents an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of horological history that combines the best of the world of Swiss watchmaking and British automotive design. The limited edition ensures exclusivity and the potential to become a sought-after collector's piece in the future.
