Gucci have become a brand name that is synonymous with luxury and style, and the Gucci Guccissima ladies large watch is a supreme illustration as to why that reputation is so well deserved. The House of Gucci was formed in 1912 by the renowned Italian trendsetter Guccio Gucci. Beginning life as a supplier of leather goods and luggage within the relatively limited confines of Florence, the Gucci brand name quickly expanded. Today, their passion for innovation has created an exquisite range of accessories that effortlessly meld a timeless sense of elegance with the iconic, finely crafted techniques that have always characterised Italian workmanship.
The pioneering Gucci watch was launched in 1997, and proved to be an instantaneous sensation. Gucci watches have evolved over the intervening years, but are always typified by their lavish use of decorative materials such as soft silver and gorgeous diamonds. Consistently adhering to premier levels of craftsmanship, Gucci has also proved to be more open to the inclusion of modern features, such as digital displays, than many of its luxury competitors. Seamlessly blending the traditional with the contemporary, there is little wonder why Gucci watches have proved to be such a success story.
Despite Gucci’s 90 year history, the brand remains committed to their original ethos, and aims to continue to do so for the next 90 years and beyond. The Guccissima range of watches are an integral part of this long term vision, and were unveiled just in time for the prestigious Baselworld Watch and Jewellery Show. This new wristwatch collection offers timepieces that conform to either 27mm or 36mm sizes, and this week’s watch of the week represents the larger of these two versions.
The more generous size of dial allows the full qualities of this extravagant timepiece to shine forth. The round stainless steel case of the Guccissima is polished to a highly reflective finish that catches the light in a subtle fashion, without ever dazzling the wearer. Despite its larger diameter the slim 9mm depth of the wristwatch, along with the steel bracelet bangle strap with its folding jewellery clasp, ensures that the Guccissima always fits comfortably without ever becoming cumbersome.
The dial of the Guccissima is a masterpiece of horological aesthetics, displaying a burnished mother of pearl face framed behind the now famous ‘G’ shaped bezel of the Guccissima range. Situated within this pristine dial are a trio of sumptuous diamonds that perfectly indicate the 12, 6 and 9 o’clock integers with exceptional levels of clarity. The sapphire crystal glass used by Gucci has been similarly chosen for its dual qualities of exactitude and durability, creating a wristwatch that exudes femininity whilst also remaining decidedly practical.
The timepiece is powered by a Swiss made quartz movement, and the breathtakingly precise frequencies of this movement result in a mechanism that maintains exceedingly accurate standards of timekeeping. The status of Guccissima watches as striking decorative adornments also does not mean that their functionality is in any way compromised, with the timepieces enjoying a 2 year warranty and a water resistance of 50 metres that serve to guard against all but the most severe mishaps.
