The exclusive Swiss maison Bianchet is renowned for its tourbillon watches, designed with high-tech materials and artisanal expertise that ensure optimal precision and resistance, even in the most extreme conditions. Hallmarks that echo the standards of Formula 1 race car driving. The house’s newest ambassador is the 28-year-old French Formula 1 driver and Grand Prix winner Esteban Ocon. The young French driver, who has recently signed with the American team MoneyGram Haas F1 Team, has chosen the Bianchet style—on the track, in the city, or while traveling—for its tourbillon watches.  He was spotted wearing the Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT at the prestigious “F1 75 Live” gala in London last February—an iconic event celebrating 75 years of Formula 1 and the opening of the 2025 season. 

The eye-catching Bianchet B 1.618 Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT embodies a perfect harmony between lightness, robustness, and refinement. Its high-density carbon case, infused with titanium powder, withstands shocks up to 5000G and is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), showcasing technical excellence. The centrepiece of the titanium movement is a flying tourbillon that ensures absolute precision, while vulcanized rubber straps provide comfort and optimal adaptability. 

“It is an honor to join the Bianchet family and represent a brand that shares my commitment to precision and performance. The sophisticated design and remarkable engineering of their watches perfectly reflect the spirit of racing: pushing boundaries through constant innovation and the pursuit of excellence,” commented Esteban Ocon. ©Trish Valicenti for The Gourmet Gazette
