Remember the post with this mysterious looking watch?

mystery

It’s finally revealed at Baselworld 2008 to be the Meccanico dG by DeGrisogono, with a mechanical digital display… the first of its kind.

(Yes… a MECHANICAL watch. That means no battery required.)


The Meccanico dG displays two time zones… one in an analogue display on the top and the other in a mechanical digital display at the bottom. Encased in titanium with sapphire crystal and display case-back, it measures 56mm X 48mm. It has a DeGrisogono exclusive hand-wound DG 042 movement and is water resistent up to 30m.

I must admit I really like this ingenius design.
