Groundbreaking Design: De Grisogono The Meccanico dG

With its 651 components, the Meccanico dG's mechanical movement is one of the most intricate made today. The Meccanico dG timepiece has two distinct timezones. It is the first to display both analogue and digital time by mechanical means. The time information is displayed by an array of 23 horizontally and vertically positioned microsegments. The segments have four faces: two opposing visible faces fitted with colored strips and two opposing unmarked faces. Time changes are effected by 90° rotations of the required segment or segments. Involving one to twelve segments, time changes are lightning fast. The Meccanico dG comes in a limited edition of 177 watches in titanium and 177 in white gold. Wow.
