THE ORIGINS OF OUR WATCHES

Our first collection of watches dedicated to the Aston Martin BD5 was born from a desire to pay tribute to one of the most emblematic cars in automotive history. As always at Atelier Jalaper, our watches are the result of the meeting of two worlds that we love above all: automotive heritage and watchmaking tradition. We designed them with this unique vision in mind, while integrating a real piece of Aston Martin DB5 and subtle references to the design of the British legend. All our watches are limited-edition.

A MEN’S WATCH WITH A UNIQUE CONCEPT

Combining automotive heritage and watchmaking was a real technical challenge. After a year of R&D, we were finally able to transform an Aston Martin DB5 bonnet into a real watch dial. All the dials that equip our watches have a unique patina that reflects the authenticity and history of this bonnet: scratches and chips. All watches in the DB5 collection are assembled in Switzerland.

MADE FROM AN ASTON MARTIN DB5

Each of the watches in the collection has a dial directly cut from an Aston Martin DB5 bonnet that has been authenticated by Aston Martin Works in London. To transform the raw part of one of the most legendary British cars into a real watch dial, it was first necessary to cut the aluminum, flatten and process it in order to be able to stamp our dials. They were then laser engraved to reveal the indexes reminiscent of the car’s speedometer, while retaining the patina that makes each watch unique. Finally, the integration of the automatic movement and the assembly in its steel case case
(black due to the PVD treatment) took place entirely in our Swiss atelier in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

WATCH DESIGN PROCESS 

The crucial design process took a year and a half of hard work, back and forth with our designers and several prototypes. Above all, we wanted the design of our watch to reflect the full power of the Aston Martin DB5’s history. Therefore, The AJ002-B has subtle references to the legendary British car.

THE STEEL CASE

The AJ002-B is equipped with a stainless steel (316L) case that has undergone a PVD treatment that gives it this distinctive black color. On the case at 9 o'clock you will also find a plate with the serial number of the watch since the AJ002-B is a limited-edition model of 600 numbered pieces.

GUILLOCHAGE INSPIRED BY THE ASTON MARTIN DB5 GRILLE

The “guillochage” at 6 and 12 o'clock features a honeycomb laser-engraved pattern. Its design is inspired by the grille of the Aston Martin DB5, one of the most recognizable elements of this legendary car. It perfectly embodies the timeless design of the British icon.

DISPLAY AND INDEXES

The AJ002-B is equipped with a day/date movement, so it offers a date display at 3 o'clock, and a day display at 12 o’clock. The indexes refer to the speedometer of the Aston Martin DB5; with a typography reminiscent of the sixties. These two elements were cut and laser-engraved to preserve the patina of the dial.

THE LEATHER
STRAP  

The AJ001-B is equipped with a perforated black calf leather strap which adds a touch of elegance to the watch. You can also choose from our collection of bracelets to give your watch a unique style. All our bracelets are handmade in France from genuine calf leather.




THE PRESS TALKS ABOUT OUR WATCH INSPIRED BY THE ASTON MARTIN DB5

"To design these collector dials, the Chaux-de-Fonds craftsmen in charge of their design first had to flatten the hood of the legendary car before cutting out 600 dials with the greatest precision, despite the malleability of aluminum. »
