The Atelier Jalaper watch combines the art of watchmaking with the world of the automobile, in an innovative design around the bonnet of a classic James Bond car to create a masterpiece on the wrist.
The wristwatch was the result of a joint collaboration between Louis Jalaber and Simon Szleper, based on its design by converting the hood of the Aston Martin DB5 worth 600,000 dollars into a wristwatch that gives its owner part of the inheritance of the legendary car that has accompanied secret agent James Bond on his adventures for decades.
The watch is offered in a limited edition of not more than 600 copies around the world, and the process of transforming and rehabilitating the chassis of the classic car took nearly a year, starting with the process of removing the original paint of the car with great care while preserving the shape of the original aging membrane for the rare car issued in the sixties of the last century.
The hood has been officially approved by the Aston Martin Heritage Foundation in North London, and all copies of the elegant all-black leather strap have been sold out beforehand.
