Baselworld 2019: Dolce&Gabbana introduces the DG 01 debut in-house movement
Since 2017, they’ve added to their high fashion creations with alta gioielleria and alta orologeria, or high jewellery and high watchmaking respectively. Focusing on unique haut de gamme creations, in limited quantities, these pieces are inspired by traditional Italian artistic styles and reference Corinthian architecture qualities.
The movement, the DG 01, is an automatic calibre with a new-generation micro-rotor. It offers a power reserve of 58 hours and runs at 3Hz. The main plate and bridges are given a brushed by hand and gold-plated.
The Firenze watch displays time with the historic “hora italica”, the 24-hour display of time with sunset as the twenty-forth hour. This display is still seen on the clock of the Florence Cathedral and on the clock tower in Piazza San Marco in Venice. In the mechanical movement DG 01.02, MHC and Dolce& Gabbana included a system for reducing the hours wheel count. Only 13 will be produced, each engraved with the serial number on the caseback.
