A high-performance watch made from lightweight materials
Gorilla was founded by a former chief designer of one of Switzerland's three major luxury watch brands, with the concept of creating an unprecedented hyper-performance watch. Five years ago, in 2016, Gorilla released its first model, the Fastback Original. Combining design know-how with lightweight materials, it achieved high performance.
POWER: The mutual passion between cars and watches, the ultimate beauty that is not too extreme, and the pedigree of luxury watch design.
PERFORMANCE: The ultimate combination of cutting-edge materials. A meticulously designed watch that is worn on the wrist and seen by others. A watch that you'll fall in love with once you put it on.
CONCEPT: "Creatively disruptive" watchmaking.
RARITY: We can definitely say that this is not a brand for people looking for a safe watch.
TARGET: People who always seek joy in creating new things.
To commemorate the fifth anniversary of its launch, the company has now announced the Fastback Legacy, a full-forged carbon version with the original color scheme. The Blue Demon, an evolution of the GT collection, features a color scheme inspired by the rebellious and energetic sponsor liveries that brought excitement and competition to single-seater open-wheel race cars.
The distinctive deep blue mirror-polished ceramic bezel complements the contrasting red aluminum pinstripe and multi-layered forged carbon finish, while the titanium and aluminum crown guard is the result of a technical advancement first seen on the Léon Racing Limited Edition.
