Watch enthusiasts, start your engines! HAUTLENCE has unveiled the Linear Giacomo Agostini, a timepiece that’s more than just a watch – it’s a racing machine for your wrist, styled in honor of the legendary motorcycle racer Giacomo Agostini.
For those unfamiliar with the high-octane world of motorcycle racing, Agostini, lovingly referred to as “Ago,” clinched an astonishing 15 World Championships. HAUTLENCE taps into this spirit, revving up the dial with the number 15, surrounded by the vibrant colors of Agostini’s iconic victories – red, yellow, and silver. This homage to speed and daring is not simply aesthetic. It’s practically engineered into the DNA of the watch, drawing from Agostini’s influence on advancing motorcycle design.
This particular model comes equipped with HAUTLENCE’s signature linear retrograde jumping hour, where the linear hand acts like a throttle cable, sprinting from one hour to the next. A pit-lane stopwatch and a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock bring in elements of racing precision and flair. Under the hood, the watch houses the D50 caliber, entirely constructed in-house, boasting 239 components, a 72-hour power reserve, and a rock-steady frequency of 3 Hertz.
Worthy of mention is the case, almost armor-like, made from satin-finished and polished steel, robust enough to withstand an impressive 10 ATM of water pressure. Its aerodynamic look ties back to the sleek designs seen in motor racing, capped off with a red rubber strap, ready to tackle any high-speed lifestyle.
The Linear Giacomo Agostini is more than a mere ticker of time; it’s a celebration of velocity, endurance, and a love for pushing boundaries. With a limited production of only 28 pieces, this watch is destined for those who live life in the fast lane – and have a keen appreciation for mechanical artistry.
