A striking example of mid-century creativity, this Bueche Girod in yellow gold perfectly captures the bold design language of its era, elevated by a highly distinctive personalized dial for Lancia.
The asymmetrical, flared case is immediately eye-catching, with its dynamic, almost automotive-inspired silhouette. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, it reflects the experimental spirit of the 1960s–1970s, when watchmakers were embracing unconventional shapes and expressive forms. The wide, sculptural lugs and curved profile give the watch a strong presence on the wrist despite its elegant proportions.
The true highlight, however, is the dial. Executed in a deep slate tone with a subtle grid pattern, it features applied square hour markers and sleek hands, all arranged around the prominent Lancia shield logo at 12 o’clock. The co-signature “Bueche Girod” further enhances its appeal, confirming the collaboration and adding to its exclusivity. Personalized corporate dials of this kind were typically produced in very small numbers, often intended as presentation pieces for executives, partners or special clients.
The caseback, engraved with its reference, serial and gold hallmarks, confirms the quality of construction, while the overall aesthetic blends horological craftsmanship with automotive heritage in a way that feels both refined and unconventional.
Well-preserved and rich in character, this Bueche Girod for Lancia represents a fascinating intersection between Swiss watchmaking and Italian automotive history, an uncommon and charismatic collector’s piece with undeniable period charm.
