Our first collection of watches, dedicated to the DB5, embodies the spirit and heritage of this automotive icon. The aluminium dials are cut from the bonnet of a genuine Aston Martin DB5 and every detail, carefully crafted to celebrate the essence of the DB5, reflects our passion for exceptional cars and our commitment to watchmaking craftsmanship.
THE DB5
Synonymous with style, performance and exclusivity, the DB5 is one of the most iconic cars ever created. Produced between 1963 and 1965 in an edition of approximatively a thousand, its unique design and its appearance in the cinema quickly elevated it to the status of legend. The embodiment of the union between elegance and power, it truly marked its era and continues to be an inspiration to this day.
Although the models used in the movies didn't contain a real DB5 engine, they did play a large part in sparking the craze that still surrounds the DB5, particularly with the many gadgets they were equipped with, which made the vehicle anything but an ordinary car.
THE COLLECTION
We have designed this collection with the aim of allowing you to own a fragment of this most coveted of cars. The dial of the DB5 watches has been taken from one of the aluminium plates that make up the body of an authentic DB5, assembled using the Superleggera process of the Italian coachbuilder Touring, a rare and costly technical refinement used to produce a vehicle with curved shapes and a featherweight. Each element of the watch is carefully crafted to reflect the inimitable allure and cachet of this car, with its woodwork and upholstery of typically English finesse and distinction.
The unique patina of the dials, more or less marked, is a constant reminder of their provenance and of the technical feat achieved to enable the bonnet to be integrated into a timepiece, and the curves of the case evoke the driving dynamism and unrivalled elegance of the DB5.
The satin-brushed steel case of the S models recalls the iconic Silver Birch colour of the DB5 driven by a famous British spy. The typography of the hour-markers and the guilloche at 6 and 12 on the dial, taken from an authentic Aston Martin DB5 bonnet, are all references to the timeless design of the famous car that owes its name to David Brown.
The watches in the DB5 collection are powered by Miyota 8215 and Miyota 8285 automatic movements with a 42-hour power reserve and a stop-second system to ensure greater precision when winding the watch.
The original perforated black leather strap perfectly embodies the spirit and incomparable style of this legendary car of the 60s. But you can also choose your own bracelet in our collection of watch straps.
