Maserati MCPURA performance and Swiss haute horlogerie mastery in a timepiece

08 Apr Maserati MCPURA performance and Swiss haute horlogerie mastery in a timepiece

Maserati and Bianchet, the Neuchâtel-based Swiss maison of haute horlogerie, announce a special collaboration in the name of the philosophy they have always shared: passion for beauty that never gives in to compromises, mechanical rigour and artisan tradition, all expressed through balance and precision. To mark the centenary of the iconic Trident emblem inspired by Bologna’s Fountain of Neptune – which made its first appearance on the Tipo 26 when it came in victorious at the Targa Florio – Maserati and Bianchet present UltraFino Maserati, the Flying Tourbillon watch available in a limited collection of 100 one-of-a-kind timepieces, unveiled at the Watches and Wonders 2026 trade fair in Geneva.

The convergence of Maserati and Bianchet serves as the natural, inevitable union of two trajectories that have long run in parallel. The UltraFino Maserati design draws its inspiration from the Maserati MCPURA: the brand’s latest supercar, unveiled at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed and made in Modena. Powered by a 630-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre Nettuno V6 and built around a carbon-fibre monocoque, Maserati MCPURA can achieve 0-100 km/h in under 2.9 seconds, a figure that speaks less of brute force than of the mastery of weight, balance and material science. Thanks to a its lightweight construction and meticulous hand-finishing at the Viale Ciro Menotti plant, Maserati MCPURA is the expression of engineering as a form of art. A car that embodies over 100 years of Italian racing heritage and channels it into something contemporary and uncompromising.

The parallels between the watch and supercar are deliberate and precise: the open-worked skeleton dial of UltraFino Maserati takes its visual language from the birdcage-design wheel architecture of MCPURA, with its iconic triple split-spoke design forming a trident motif. Related News
