Introduction to Nico Hülkenberg
Nico Hülkenberg is a German Formula 1 driver with one of the more resilient careers in the modern paddock. Born in Emmerich am Rhein in 1987, he made his F1 debut with Williams in 2010 after winning the GP2 Series title the previous year. Over the following decade and a half, Hülkenberg accumulated stints at Force India, Sauber, Renault, and Racing Point, becoming widely regarded as one of the most technically precise drivers on the grid. He holds the record for the most F1 race starts without a podium finish — a statistical anomaly that says more about the machinery around him than his ability behind the wheel. He returned to full-time racing with Haas F1 Team from 2023 and has since reminded the paddock exactly why he was never short of engineers willing to go to bat for him.
The Nico Hülkenberg watch collection, as far as public sightings confirm, leans toward technically grounded Swiss watchmaking with a clear motorsport thread running through it. Hülkenberg has been spotted wearing the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition, ref. 81020-11-001-11A — a limited-production collaboration between the Geneva manufacturer and the British automaker. The piece sits on the Laureato's octagonal bezel architecture, a design that dates to 1975 when Girard-Perregaux launched the original Laureato as a direct competitor to the Royal Oak and Nautilus in the integrated-bracelet sports watch segment. The Aston Martin edition layers a motorsport brief onto that foundation, making it a logical fit for someone whose professional life is measured in tenths of a second.
What the choice communicates is a preference for watches with engineering credibility rather than pure status signaling. The Laureato is not the most obvious choice for a driver looking to play to the cameras — it rewards people who know what they're looking at. For Hülkenberg, who has always been more appreciated by engineers than headlines, that alignment feels deliberate.

The dial alone tells the story: seven distinct layers of paint build the signature Aston Martin green on the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition ref. 81020-11-001-11A, with a diamond-quilted motif lifted directly from the stitched leather seats of Aston Martin's road cars. Limited to just 188 pieces — a nod to Aston Martin's founding year of 1913 rendered in racing numerology — this collaboration piece lands on the wrist of Haas F1 driver Nico Hülkenberg, a man whose day job demands the same split-second precision the chronograph delivers.
