De Grisogono Meccanico dG


This is a nice time piece designed by Fawaz Gruosi in a limited edition package of black and white with a black alligator leather strap.
The watch has a hand-wound movement composed of 651 parts.  In the upper part of the watch you have an analogue display with two white needles and in the bottom you have a digital mechanical display for a second 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.
