From an idea born in the heart of the paddocks, Lorige has become a reality. The only question is: why didn't anyone think of that before? Indeed, what could be more authentic than wearing a genuine piece of motorsports history on the wrist?

Every Lorige case is, by its essence, truly one-of-a-kind. Machined from authentic endurance racing brake pads that have competed in the world’s most prestigious motorsports events, each of our cases carries the legacy of a unique track history in its curves. Every Lorige case is authenticated and comes with a certificate of origin retracing the pad history, from its racing roots to Lorige manufacture in Switzerland.

After 3 years of research & development, Lorige achieved a patented process of more than 30 hours to craft 2 cases from one brake pad. This patented expertise makes every Lorige case unparalleled and breaks with the conventions of traditional watchmaking by introducing an innovative material that was not originally intended for high-end watchmaking.

Top-level motorsports require precision, concentration, and experience. Coming from the world of competitive motor racing, the founders of Lorige wanted to infuse this energy into each of their watches—and what better place for watchmaking excellence than Switzerland. All the Lorige timepieces are Swiss Made, from Geneva to La-Chaux-de-Fonds

The finishing touches shape the ultimate appearance of Lorige timepiece. The process is key to the watch’s identity but is inherently unforgiving: bead-blasting, polishing and satin finishing are all done manually by a select group of craftsmen able to provide such rare expertise. The BL-Evolution “Bleu Asphalte Gold Edition” stands out by 5N Rose Gold bezel and caseback, adding a refined touch to this model resolutely focused on performance.

Made in the purest traditional watchmaking heritage, our Swiss Made manual movement is composed of 175 parts meticulously assembled by our craftsmen to form the heart of each BL-Evolution. For sublimating the LOR-DB caliber, our artisans have worked to create an exclusivity for Lorige: a “Duo-Tone” finish that gives depth and contrast to the movement, subtly mixing Côtes de Genève and hand-angled edges.

From the Neoralithe Arabic numerals to the hand-finished dial with its distinctive asphalt texture, every decorative element of the BL-Evolution is assembled and finished by hand. The indexes, enhanced with Super-LumiNova®, provide exceptional legibility while elevating the watch's refined aesthetic. Each case is engraved on its side with the identity of the original brake pads from which its Carbon/Carbon was sourced. Completing a single Lorige case requires more than 20 individual hand-finished operations.
