After amazing success of phones series Skeleton, logical step for company Gresso will be production of skeleton – watches under personal brand. Russian manufacturer managed to develop not just exclusive chronographs rich bright design, which echoes with whole brand style Gresso, but to use different technologies in making case and movement. In development of movement participated the member of ACHI Konstantin Chaykin. The name of chronographs Grand Wind resembles with the term self-winding. This is the main constructional idea of the model – miniature, but strong rotor from rose gold 18K is situated on the front part of the dial, and from movement it is alienates dial from polished silicon wafer with height of 0,5 mm. To realize it module, Gresso masters created transmission of own construction, which was produced in first own caliber Gresso G1. From the point of view, structure Grand Wind Skeleton doesn't have analogues: in it everything is “upside down”. It is opposition between two asymmetric windows on the front part of case there are two windows on the back case: through one you can see movement work (what proofs the name of the line Skeleton), and in second you can see seconds, which marked with whirling “propeller”. Automatic winding from upper, and seconds from lower, inner side of case. Gresso designers don't bound themselves to traditional conventionalities. Besides, the owner of chronograph has cause to remove watches from wrist to show it from both sides. It should be noted, that besides unusual construction in caliber G1 amazes thoroughness of execution. All bridges and wheels, which are seen through sapphire crystal, polished by hands and covered with rose gold, it looks very stylish on the black DLC 9diamond-likecarbon) covering of the case and inserts from black rubber on the dial. On the back case of watches fixed with 6 titanium screws, can be seen engraving, copying painting of watch movement. By the way, design of the dial itself, which accommodated such unique and interesting caliber, also required thorough creation. There were hundreds prototypes made and tested, until chronographs didn't find embodiment in big, but elegant 45-mm case with height 12 mm, which notes dynamic and technocratic image of watches. It should be noted that not looking on skeleton movement and huge number of sapphire crystals (model includes 5), case is absolutely sealed and has water resistance is up to 100 meters. The strap of watch is made from alligator leather, equipped with bracelet clasp with black DLC covering. |
