Designed to display the time in two time zones, de Grisogono’s
Meccanico dG’s ranks as the world’s first watch with a mechanical
digital display as well as an analogue face. A single mechanical
movement, two time zones, two types of display: the Meccanico dG breaks
truly new ground; for the first time in watchmaking history, a digital
display and mechanical power come together successfully.
A proprietary de Grisogono calibre, its hand-wound movement comprises
651 components. It offers an analogue display of the hours and minutes
on the upper dial and the digital display of a second time zone on the
lower section. The latter features the tens of hours, the hours, the
tens of minutes and the minutes. The mechanism is activated via movable
micro-segments driven by a set of 23 cams combined with gears plus a
triggering and synchronization device.
Meccanico dG has a power reserve of some 35 hours. The latter is
displayed by a hand in a 90° sector on the back of the movement and is
visible through a shaped crystal caseback giving a glimpse of the
brand’s famous emblematic scrolls. The Meccanico dG is water-resistant
to 30 metres and comes in a choice of pink gold, titanium, titanium and
rubber, titanium and pink gold or titanium and platinum. A crown at 3
o’clock controls the analogue time display. Two correctors serve to
reset the second time zone; the left-hand one controls the hours, the
right-hand one the tens of minutes and minutes. The strap is in natural
vulcanised rubber and features a deployment clasp adorned with the de
Grisogono emblem. The Meccanico dG is being fashioned in a limited
edition of 177 watches. Price : Meccanico N06 (Pink gold and Rubber)
