De Grisogono Meccanico DG
June 2, 2008
Visually the De Grisogono Meccanico DG has 2 time-zones, one analog and the other digital. The amazing thing is that this watch is not digital, it is a series of 651 mechanical components. The numbers are formed by 23 cams that are connected to gears and a synchronization system. This could be the most complicated watch in the world, and was created for the 50th birthday of De Grisogono. The Meccanico DG is available in four styles (red gold, titanium-and-gold, titanium-and-platinum and titanium-and-rubber). Unfortunately only 177 will be made, no word on price. See more photos.
