November 2015 55 www.bahrainthismonth.com Dedicated to absolute perfection, this Geneva-based jewellerwatchmaker has been wooing the world with stunning pieces that are red-carpet worthy. De GRISOGONO dazzles with its creations, be it the captivating stonestudded high-jewellery or the dynamic designs of its timepieces. The brand’s outstanding collections have made de GRISOGONO an icon in its own right. GRAPPOLI Renowned for exceptional haute couture and creative objects that make an impression, de GRISOGONO expresses a unique bond between its high jewellery and watchmaking know-how. Giving pride of place to spectacular gemstones, exceptional cuts and state-of-the-art setting techniques, the brand knows how to bring extra soul and character to its jewellery timepieces. This is clearly evident in de GRISOGONO’s high-jewellery watch, GRAPPOLI, which was pre-selected for the 15th Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), among 72 nominees, in the jewellery category alongside Audemars Piguet, Bvlgari, Chaumet, Fabergé and Piaget. The briolette-cut stones have become a signature of de GRISOGONO collections, which use a gem setting technique that gives the stones complete freedom, creating the illusion they are floating in mid-air. An entirely hand-crafted technique similar to that of haute couture, it showcases a subtle combination of time, talent, passion as well as infinite patience — vividly expressed at the heart of the GRAPPOLI jewellery timepieces. With 120 hours of work going into the making of the GRAPPOLI S08, it asserts de GRISOGONO’s high-jewellery mastery and haute couture spirit. A firework of sapphires, tanzanites and diamonds — the harmoniously set stones, cuts and colours skillfully play with contrasts and polar opposites, mingling various types of gems set on black rhodiumed gold. A total of approximately 76 carats of precious stones, set in a single piece, mark the passing hours. The delicate snow-setting on the dial and bezel is framed by a double row of gently moving briolette-cut gemstones. Seventy moving briolettes delicately sewed on the case modules make an amazing corolla of grapes of gems. INDIA Revealing all the fascination of the distinctive cabochon-cut, de GRISOGONO presents its elegant new earrings collection, INDIA. Asserting its chiaroscuro touch, it mingles various unorthodox contrasting types of stones invisibly set on white or rose gold. A very sophisticated collection; it is treated with the same degree of expertise and complexity as high-jewellery creations. Always attracting attention amongst the most refined and elegant people, INDIA earrings are being worn by some of the most beautiful women on Earth. A tone-on-tone theme graces the rose gold, as well as the nude tones of fossilised mammoth ivory and opal matching to brown or white diamonds. The collection mainly features azure blue and green hues embodied by a mix and match of turquoise and emeralds — the jeweller’s favourite stone. In a more contrasting interplay, de GRISOGONO blends opal’s strength to turquoise’s sweetness. Amber tones paired with onyx also give the collection its uniquely fascinating face. With the generosity of cabochon-cut and timelessness of drops, INDIA’s sculptural and very refined earrings express a new shape of style.
