Basel 2011: De Grisogono Meccanico dG

Meccanico dG

The Meccanico dG from de GRISOGONO, with its double analogue and digital mechanical display, is firmly establishing itself as an exceptional example of contemporary fine watchmaking. A prizewinner at the 2009 Geneva International Grand Prix, this model houses an extremely sophisticated movement. The inexorably accurate choreography of its gear trains, cams and microsegments creates extraordinary emotion and a poetic sense of fascination. It is now introduced in a new version enhanced by a matte black titanium case. The dark alligator strap sets off a design that is both understated and impulsive design. This exclusive new collection is to be unveiled in its entirety at Baselworld 2011.

Beating at the heart of the watch is a hand-wound movement composed of 651 parts assembled in- house according to the finest traditions of haute horlogerie. The analogue display of the hours and minutes in the upper part of the dial features white hour-markers and hands, while the mechanical digital display in the lower part corresponds to a 2nd time zone. The latter shows the tens of hours, single hours, tens of minutes and single minutes through the action of white mobile microsegments driven by a set of 23 cams combined with gears plus a triggering/synchronisation device. The transition between one indication and the next involves the instantaneous 90° rotation of between 1 and 12 different segments. In one year, the function is activated 518,400 times and sets a massive 285 million parts into motion.

chissā se questa č la volta buona che sia funzionante!
a capodanno il monomarca a Ginevra lo aveva in vetrina ma segnava un ora
che non  č nelle 24!!
