Sacred geometry fused with timeless retro chic in the new de Grisogono collection of bold assertive pieces.
The new collection debuted by Swiss luxury brand de Grisogono is an eclectic and vivid rendition of retro elegance and timeless class. Relying exclusively on the ‘big four’ in precious stones – diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds – it is–the epitome of perfect contouring and ageless composition of ethereal luminescence. With a powerful spiritual undertone, echoing the four integral elements, de Grisogono presents the New Retro Lady as a non-traditional, minimalistic and elegant line of timepieces that aspires to the modern passionate woman.
Set entirely in gold, stingray and coloured gemstones, the New Retro watch models are all about tailored details. The styling is almost severe with its clean austerity, but works well towards the overall tone of classic minimalism of the watches offset by the sparkling precious stones.
