GRAND TOUR - LA GRANDE BOUCLE III


 

The La Grande Boucle III model has a case diameter of 38,2 mm, which is a beautiful and versatile size. The case is made from 316L stainless steel with a black PVD coating.

The watch features 3 sub dials with a 15 minute counter, perfect for timing those intervals, a 12 hour counter, which should be enough to keep track of your riding time, and lastly running seconds. The main second hand in the center is a 60 second chronograph.

The watch is powered by a Swiss made Sellita SW511 movement, with automatic winding.

The FKM rubber strap gives the watch a sporty look, and makes it comfortable both on and off the bike.

Each watch is hand built to order in Båstad, Sweden, with an estimated lead time of 2 weeks.

IN DETAIL

THE DIAL

The frosted, silver-white dial showcases smooth dots on the background, reminiscent of the legendary polka dot patterns found on the King of the Mountains jersey, awarded to the race's top climber. The visibility of these dots varies with the ambient light, from seamlessly blending in to boldly popping out from the background.

 One standout element, the 12-hour index takes center stage, drawing inspiration from the iconic mile markers adorning the winding French mountain roads. These markers display gradients, altitudes, and the distance to the summit - a nod to the avid cyclist's quest for conquering peaks. The lume-infilled hour indices ensure easy readability, even in low-light conditions.

Embracing tradition, the chapter ring playfully incorporates an inverted number 13, a symbol to ward off any potential misfortune, and a tradition cherished by riders.

The dial features a vibrant yellow accent in the 15-minute counter at 3 o'clock. Engaging the stopwatch function is as simple as pressing the upper chronograph pusher on the side of the watch.

THE CASE

The La Grande Boucle III case has received a matte sandblasted black ceramic coating. This not only enhances the material's hardness, increasing the resistance to wear and tear, but also imparts a sleek and contemporary aesthetic to the watch. 

Turning to the case back, you'll discover a recessed "finish line" checker pattern, a classic racing reference, alongside an individual serial number. 

The two pushers are easy to operate, and the crown features our signature design with a recessed surface.

With a neat 38.2mm case diameter, the watch sits well also on smaller wrist sizes and is comfortable both on and off bike.

IN DETAIL

The Movement

Inside La Grande Boucle you'll find a Swiss made Sellita SW511 movement, with rhodium plating and decoration. The beautiful movement, which can be seen through the sapphire case back, also features blue screws and a custom rotor with a deep etched "finish line" pattern.

The 27 jewel movement impresses with a power reserve of up to 62 hours.

IN DETAIL

ASSEMBLY & TESTING

Each Grand Tour watch is hand built in Båstad, in the southern parts of Sweden. Here we have a small workshop where our watchmaker does all the assembly, testing and, if needed, regulation of the accuracy of the movements.

Every watch is made to order, and the assembly and testing process takes about two weeks, and after a final visual inspection the watch is sent to the customer.

REVIEW

FRATELLO WATCHES

"Out in the wild, the Grand Tour watches look sharp yet remain playful. They wear incredibly comfortably yet maintain a strong presence both physically and visually. The just larger than 38mm diameter seemed custom-tailored to my wrist, and everything just seemed to make sense. I greatly appreciate the exhibition case backs that allowed me to watch the SW511 b in action. And the matte black ceramic coating of the case is a stark frame to the bright playfulness of the dials. And what dials they are!"
