AURELIEN GIRAUD, ONE OF THE BEST SKATER OF ITS GENERATION
Born in Lyon, Aurelien Giraud started to practice skateboard when he was 4 years old with his father. Afraid of nothing, he started to build its own path to be one the best French skateboarder worldwide. In 2021, Aurelien will participate as one the crew member of the French selection to the Tokyo Olympics Game – featuring for the first time in their history skateboard as an Olympic disciplinary, proof that skateboarding is now more than ever a sport that counts.
It feels a bit like if I was taking a strall with part of my skate onto my wrist as if it is were always on my side!
UPCYCLED SKATEBOARD CASE BAND AND BLUE ANODIZED ALUMINIUM CONTAINER
The new Baume Skate – Aurelien Giraud Special Edition, featuring an automatic SW200 movement, has a 42mm casing made using used skate decks from Aurélien and production excesses that were plan to be destroyed making the Baume Skate a new symbol of the concept of upcycling.
A UNIQUE DIAL MADE OUT OF GRIPTAPE
Loyal to the Maison design audacity and creative spirit, the timepiece is featuring a dial made out of original grip tape that you can find on every skate deck… A subtle element creating a luminous yet completely new effect on the dial and paying tribute to one the key material of the skate culture. This grip tape centred disk is rotating based on a 12h rhythm illustrating the will of the Baume collection to introduce out-of-the-box time display.
AN INTERCHANGEABLE GREY COTTON STRAP WITH APPLICATIONS
The Baume Skate – Aurelien Giraud Special Edition is mounted on a cotton strap that is fixed to steel black PVD lugs thanks to the unique Baume’s collection interchangeable strap button system. The black cotton strap is built with multiple applications such as lining or a red tag merged with Aurelien’s initials into the strap and is featuring a black cork back lining for even more comfort on wrist.
A SPECIAL SIGNATURE ENGRAVED ON THE BACK
The dial is mixing red and blue tones echoing Aurelien’s favourite colours giving to the timepiece a masculine yet stylish aesthetic. The back engraving has been made possible by the use of an athermal laser for a high-quality look and the back sapphire glass is displaying Aurelien’s signature.
