Excellence and heritage are two characteristics synonymous with Château Latour and Girard-Perregaux. Moreover, both Maison’s products are defined by their place of origin. Indeed, it is the terroir that imbues their creations with a distinctive flavour. Now, these two prestigious names have come together and conceived a timepiece that unites both worlds, culminating in the release of a slim, elegant timepiece incorporating a dial formed of pebble that promises to bestow a lasting allure. The watch, limited and numbered to 18 pieces, will be exclusively and only available to the private guests of the Château Latour estate and the Villa Girard-Perregaux in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the ancestral home of the Manufacture.

A harmonious blend of ingredients
Château Latour’s terroir is unique courtesy of its mild climate, geological complexity and its proximity to the estuary. The ground beneath the vines is dressed in a thick blanket of pebbles. The palest pebbles reflect light, accelerating the photosynthesis process, while the darker pebbles harvest the daytime sun, releasing heat throughout the night. Recognising the beauty of the pebbles, Girard-Perregaux has created 18 exclusive timepieces featuring dials formed of light-coloured pebbles gathered from the Château Latour vineyard. Each dial is painstakingly crafted with skilled hands. The artisan cuts and grinds each pebble, carefully reducing its thickness to a mere sliver, measuring 0.45mm in depth. A function of using natural pebbles is that each piece varies in appearance and structure. Indeed, a closer look reveals subtle differences in shade, small fissures, hollows and inclusions. Only the finest examples are used, the culmination of 30 hours of meticulous work. The resultant appearance of each dial is unique, conferring a notable degree of exclusivity. The case of the 1966 Château Latour Edition is designed to complement the dial’s bewitching complexion. Formed of pink gold, it accentuates the subtle yellow hues of the pebble dial. The golden leaf-shaped hour and minute hands are elegant and impart meaning clearly, working in concert with the slender indexes.
