Limited Edition Parmigiani Bugatti Faubourg
December 8, 2008
Bugatti and Parmigiani Fleurier have updated their collaborative Bugatti Type 370 watch collection with an edition that pays tribute to Bugatti’s Veyron Faubourg Par Hermes car. The new edition comes with dials in colors that match the colors of the car and in two new materials – rose gold and brushed white gold.
The automobile makes its presence felt along the transversal movement (a horological premiere at that time) in which the movement is laid out on its side, spread between five plates in perfect alignment, highly evocative of a car engine. The dial is effectively on the case-middle, between the lugs, to allow easy reading of time for the wearer behind the wheel.
Apart from the movement, the aesthetics of the watch are a nod to the Italian-founded French marque, with certain wheels in the watch’s “engine” cut to resemble the trademark Bugatti wheel rims.
The movement – with the motions of the gear train clearly visible – is on show behind sapphire crystals that take the place of the traditional watch face and the case back. The watch is limited to 20 pieces, with Hermes leather strap, in 18-carat rose gold (10 pieces) or brushed white gold (10 pieces).
