Step into the Gucci High Watchmaking Universe
Gucci enters the next chapter of time-telling.
Combining high watchmaking expertise with the finest of all stones, Gucci releases five novelties which include tourbillons, moonphase movements, and a new perpetual calendar. The G-Timeless Planetarium’s Dancing Hours Flying Tourbillon, GGC.1976.DS, inspires four additional kaleidoscopic designs. Two lunar-themed pieces make their debut in 2023, one with 12 Ethiopian opals placed on a translucent blue background and the other a surreal pastel melange of topaz, peridot, amethyst, and Ethiopian opals.
The G-Timeless Dancing Bees series features 12 golden bees that dance hypnotically over the dial when the wearer shakes their wrist. This year, two beautiful stones salute Earth. One has a brilliant pistachio green opal dial complemented by Gucci's superb stone marquetry savoir-faire, while the other has a strong turquoise dial that recalls the greenish and deep blue ocean water.
The G-Timeless Moonlight uses Gucci's high-tech moonphase calibre GGV383.MP and the wearer’s birth data. Six diamonds and six gemstones representing the astral map are set in a rehaut. An interior ring with up to five letters or characters, an oscillating weight that shows the client's constellation, and a distinctive alligator strap are activated by the crown at 2 o’clock. The dial has an aventurine glass mother-of-pearl disc. To highlight the galaxies’ conversation, two more patterns are set in dramatic tones using stacked dials. The first design’s aventurine glass on a thin mother-of-pearl base contrasts with the moonphase disc's green opal, while the second's electric purple-blue lacquer on a dial highlights it.
This year, the Maison’s ultra-slim 25H line also advances. A floating bridge dial with 44 baguette diamonds on the bezel and 60 on the dial distinguish the Gucci 25H Skeleton Tourbillon. The bridge will eventually be under a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock. The Gucci 25H Skeleton Tourbillon’s rubber straps and brightly painted bridges are similar. This watch has an orange platine, pink flying tourbillon cage, purple barrel bridge, green bridges, and an electric blue winding stem with eight digits on each side. The GG727.25.PC calibre powers the Gucci 25H perpetual calendar complication watch, which displays the time, date, month, year, and moonphase until 2100.
Last but not least, it’s the retro-fun Grip range. Its avant-garde design, which combined the jumping hour mechanism with minimalist aesthetics, made it a cult hit when it debuted in 2019. The latest versions have vintage-inspired brick red jasper or chrysoprase hard stones set in 18K pink gold with matching brick red or mint green display discs and alligator straps.
