de Grisogono FG One GMT Automatic

A spectacular marvel of modern horology and architectural sculpture, the de Grisogono FG One Reference FG ONE N01 represents the peak of bold, avant-garde design. Conceived by the visionary founder Fawaz Gruosi, this timepiece is built for the daring collector who rejects ordinary design. The watch is defined by its massive, beautifully elongated rectangular case crafted from highly polished and vertically fluted stainless steel. Measuring a commanding 33mm in width by 58mm in length, its fluidly curved silhouette hugs the wrist comfortably while making an unmistakable statement of prestige.

The display is a technical masterpiece of symmetry and creative mechanical complications. Under the custom-molded sapphire crystal, a bold black dial acts as the staging ground for an array of specialized indicators. The upper dial features a prominent, stylized sweeping retrograde minute display (0 to 60) tracked by a single leaf-shaped hand, accented by a clean jumping hour aperture at the 12 o'clock position. The lower section features a semicircular second time zone (GMT) display with its own independent retrograde hand, balanced by a rolling Day/Night indicator nestled at the base of the primary dial zone.

Powering this complex display is a heavily modified Swiss automatic caliber based on the highly reliable ETA 2892 platform. It features an openwork winding rotor visible through the sapphire caseback window. Designed to maintain its continuous linear symmetry, the watch completely eliminates a side-mounted crown, positioning a fluted, signed crown seamlessly between the lugs at the 12 o'clock side. This masterpiece is elegantly paired with a premium integrated black alligator leather strap that flows effortlessly out of the fluted case lines, securing with a custom double-folding stainless steel deployment clasp.
