Grappoli Watch by de Grisogono: A firework of rich colours
Grappoli, the name for the newest watch to be released by de Grisogono, is an Italian word that means “cluster”. In fact, the briolettes around the watch face are similar to clusters of ripe grapes, bunches that make the gemstones look so “appetising”.
Manufacture, creativity, glamour — this is our D.N.A. I never want to see metal between the stones, which means we need to do three times more work — and use more carats — than most others do. — Mr. Gruosi
