If you thought watch collaborations with car brands were just for the boys, the UltraFino Maserati is about to change your mind. Unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2026 in Geneva – the fashion week of the fine watchmaking world – this is a piece that earns its place in any serious conversation about investment dressing, just with a winding crown instead of a clasp.
Maserati has partnered with Bianchet, a Swiss maison based in Neuchâtel, to create a flying tourbillon watch limited to just 100 pieces. The number is deliberate: it marks exactly 100 years since the Maserati Trident emblem first appeared on a racing car at the Targa Florio in 1926. That same symbol now sits at the heart of the watch’s open-worked dial – rendered in skeleton form, suspended, and frankly stunning to look at.
The design takes its cues from the Maserati MCPURA, the brand’s latest supercar and the kind of car that makes you stop walking when you see one. The prismatic AI Aqua Rainbow finish that caused a stir at Goodwood last year runs across the dial and along the case edge, giving the watch the same kind of shifting, light-catching depth you’d expect from a piece of couture. At just 9.9mm thick and 36 grams on the wrist, it wears with surprising lightness for something this technically ambitious.
And it is technically ambitious. The in-house Bianchet UT01 movement – entirely hand-finished, all 225 components of it – is 3.85mm thin and built to withstand forces of 5,000G. The 60-hour power reserve means you can take it off for the weekend and come back to it on Monday without resetting. The carbon-fibre case, grade 5 titanium bridges and vulcanised rubber details all speak to a piece designed to be worn, not just admired.
Bianchet builds every watch according to the principles of the Golden Ratio, which means proportion and beauty are not afterthoughts here, they are structural.
With only 100 ever made, this is the kind of piece that appreciates in more ways than one.
The exclusive watch is available in the official Bianchet flagship or via official distributors. It is also available online via www.bianchet.com. You can also contact Maserati to express interest.
