Since 2000, de Grisogono has been part of the select circle of Haute Horlogerie Maisons and has demonstrated its quest to meet the highest quality standards and further develop its know-how in the conception, development and production of watches and movements.

Inspired by the unbridled creativity of Fawaz Gruosi, the Research & Development team, construction engineers and master-watchmakers work hand in hand.
Together, they aim to go beyond traditional watchmaking principles by inventing mechanisms giving full expression to the original ideas of their creator. Baselworld 2015 will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the launch of the first watch collection by de Grisogono.

Instrumento N°Uno Annual Calendar by de Grisogono

To mark this anniversary, the Geneva-based watch company will unveil a constellation of new releases.
The Instrumento N°Uno Annual Calendar is amongst these, conserving the traits and outline of the emblematic Instrumento collection. Featuring a newly designed bracelet which is perfectly integrated with the case, the Instrumento exudes elegance.
The annual calendar gets its name from its ability to run for an entire year without adjustment. Once a year, at the end of February, the calendar requires manual correction. With its streamlined design, the architecture of the dial has been completely updated in order to free up as much space as possible to give pride of place to the month and small second counters.
In addition, the arabesques of the numbers 5, 6, 7 have been removed. To ensure optimal readability, the day display at 12 o’clock has been enlarged.
