Bovet 1822 Creates A $310,000 Timepiece To Pair With Your $2M Pininfarina Battista

It would, frankly, be gauche to match the wrong timepiece with the wrong car, so thank heavens Pininfarina has partnered with Bovet 1822 to create the perfect timepiece to go with its latest all-electric hypercar, the Battista.

The watch is named, appropriately enough, the Battista Tourbillon, and features a patented double-sided 60-second flying tourbillon, a 10-day power reserve, an exclusive vegan rubber strap, and it’s the first timepiece Bovet 1822 has ever made with asymmetrical dials.

It also uses a brand-new movement using the watchmaker’s patented double face tourbillon that runs at 18,000 vibrations per hour. That allows it 10 days of power with just a single barrel, all of which was done specifically at the behest of Pininfarina.

“The Battista Tourbillon truly represents the Automobili Pininfarina design philosophy in sublime, small scale,” said Luca Borgogno, Pininfarina’s chief design officer. “We reached a level of detail and design quality that has not been seen before. It makes a perfect match with the Battista hyper GT.”

To ensure that it matches the car, the fine detailing is finished in the same Iconica Blu as the Anniversario edition of the car and the dial face features the Battista’s Triangolo pattern. Together with the dials make the number 90, a nod to the 90-year heritage of Pininfarina. 90 is also the number of watches that will be produced, 30 in titanium, 30 in red gold and 30 in platinum.

Prices in Switzerland start from CHF 285,000 for the titanium version which comes to around US$310,000 or €265,000 at today’s exchange rates. That may sound ridiculous for us commoners, but it’s pocket change for anyone who can afford to park a $2 million Pininfarina Battista in their driveway.

“At Bovet 1822, the human element is essential, and so it is for Automobili Pininfarina,” said Pascal Raffy, owner of Bovet 1822. “Luxury cars and timepieces share the same values: exceptional design and performance. When you start a project and there is no interest other than the pursuit of perfection, passions do not just add up—they multiply.”

The Pininfarina Battista is an electric hypercar that is based on the same platform as the Rimac Nevera and makes 1,874 hp (1,397 kW / 1,900 PS) and 1,696 lb-ft (2,300 Nm) of torque. The cars will be made specifically for their owners and are customizable enough that the automaker claims no two will be the same.
