An adventure through time and space into the Gucci universe inspires the new timepieces joining the House’s High Watchmaking collection for 2023.
Four new iterations of the 40 mm G-Timeless Planetarium feature different precious stones dancing around the expertly-crafted flying tourbillon movement in its decorative diamond-studded star-shaped cage. One with a blue alligator strap and 18kt yellow gold case has gold star embellishments set with diamonds; two have an 18kt white gold case with either a purple strap and green peridots, blue topazes, purple amethysts and Ethiopian opals or a green strap with Ethiopian opals. The fourth watch has an 18kt pink gold case, brown strap and rubies, fire opals, pink tourmaline and mandarin garnet. In all the watches, the Dancing Hours Flying Tourbillon caliber, named after one of the brightest nebulas in the galaxy and the movement of the stones, can be found.
There are two new 40 mm tourbillon iterations of the G-Timeless Dancing Bees in 18kt pink gold. One, with a white alligator strap, features a chevron-style green opal dial with moving 18kt pink gold bees, a diamond-set, crescent-style tourbillon and a diamond embellished bezel and crown. The other has a black strap and a turquoise stone dial with 18kt pink, white and yellow gold moving bees.
Three new versions, including a fully customizable one, join the G-Timeless Moonlight family. Charting the waxing and waning of the moon, the design includes a Gucci movement GGV838.MP and promises up to 360 years of accuracy. The new made-to-order 41 mm watch, in 18kt white gold and blue aventurine glass and mother-of-pearl dial, can be personalized entirely to a client’s place, time and date of birth. Depicting the sky at the moment of birth, six natural gemstones decorate the dial’s moveable rehaut to represent zodiac signs, alongside six diamonds, and customizable characters print. The crown has a cabochon birthstone, and the oscillating weight features the client’s constellation and coordinates. Its alligator strap can be customized too. The other two new styles are a 40 mm 18kt white gold design with a purple mother-of-pearl dial, multi-colored opal moon phase discs and a black alligator strap, and a similarly sized one in 18kt yellow gold with green aventurine glass and mother-of-pearl dial, green opal moon phase discs and a white alligator strap.
With six new designs, the sleekly structured GUCCI 25H continues to make a bold statement. The impressive skeleton tourbillon is embellished with over 100 baguette diamonds on its bezel and dial. This 40 mm haute couture jewel comes in either 18kt pink gold with a blue cobalt alligator strap or 18kt white gold with a black alligator strap. Another new GUCCI 25H features a purple barrel bridge, pink tourbillon, blue turning stem, green minutery bridge and orange platine. Adding definition to the layered nature of the 40 mm 18kt white gold watch, the colors harmonize with four vibrant rubber straps. There are also three new 40 mm GUCCI 25H with a new perpetual calendar complication, which require no update until 2100. One in 18kt gold has a brass pink gold-plated dial and brown alligator strap, and the other two have stainless steel bracelets and grey dials with a bezel in either 18kt white gold or stainless-steel.
The Grip welcomes two new 38 mm iterations with 18kt pink gold case featuring uncommon natural stones for the dial. One is crafted with brick red jasper stone and a rick red alligator strap, while the other has mint green chrysoprase stone and a mint green alligator strap.
