Essential power for outstanding performance
Power is a prerequisite for performance and the essence of Girard-Perregaux and Aston Martin’s works.

The watch is self-winding, drawing energy from the wrist’s natural movement thanks to a small rotor called a micro-rotor. The thickness of the micro-rotor is only 5.45 mm, which contributes to the slim appearance of the movement and makes it visible. The watch’s micro-rotor is engraved with the Aston Martin brand name, which complements the Girard-Perregaux brand name on the barrel. When designing the barrel and micro-rotor, the joint creative team took inspiration from the brakes behind Aston Martin’s DB12 spoked wheels, showing off sharp lines and extra openings.
