Girard-Perregaux Laureato Aston Martin Edition - Hands-On, Price
Earlier this year, the Swiss watchmaker Girard-Perregaux announced a partnership with Aston Martin, the iconic British manufacturer of luxury sports cars and grand tourers. The first watch to celebrate the partnership was a revved-up and skeletonised version of the brand’s signature Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges.

Hands-On IWC Big Pilot Monopusher Saint Exupery IW515204 (Price)
Having a good story to tell is a treasure trove for watch brands, and IWC secured a winning one in 2005 when it partnered with the heirs of Antoine de Saint-Exupery, aviator and author of the timeless novella, Le Petit Prince. Special editions of the Big Pilot's Watch, devoted to the author Antoine de Saint-Exupery and his legendary Prince, appeal to the hearts and minds of fans with their classic B-Uhr pilot watch styling. Following the debut of the Big Pilot Le Petit Prince with a monopusher chronograph last year, it's Antoine de Saint Exupery's turn to be kitted out with this complication. Presented in the emblematic Big Pilot's format in an 18k rose gold case, the new?IW515204 shares the exact specifications as the 2021 edition but is produced in even more reduced numbers and limited to 100 pieces. And when we say emblematic', we are referring to the 46.2mm version inspired by the massive 1940s B-Uhr watch, not the downsized 43mm that ruffled the feathers of some Big Pilot fans.The

Robust, utilitarian pieces with just that small hint of Italian design to make them different and obviously?cool. Yet, one thing is sure… Elegance wasn’t the main objective of these watches. Large on the wrist, often colourful and always tool-ish, they were clearly playing in the sports watch league. However, at Baselworld 2018, the brand decided to rely on its basic designs codes and Italian flair to create something slightly diff
