Grandcliff Double Retrograde Skyscrapers
-
Inspired
by the famous urban constructions vying with each other
in terms of height and daring, Pierre DeRoche pays tribute
to the gravity-defying skylines of our modern cities. GrandCliff
Skyscrapers is also a genuine technical feat in its own
right. Both futuristic and classic by nature, this timepiece
reveals a highly original feature in the form of two dizzying
half-moon counters facing each other to provide a retrograde
read-off of the hours and minutes. The dial is simply breathtaking
with its more than 55 parts imparting an unmistakable sense
of technical sophistication and power. Designed like skyscrapers,
the hours and minutes light up this stunning watch face
with their polished sides and luminescent tips. Operations
generally used for movement parts, such as polishing, satin-brushing,
sapphire-blasting, have been applied to achieving the superlative
finish of this dial. Inspired by the Empire State Building,
the hands further accentuate the forceful character of this
exceptional watch. And when the GrandCliff Double Retrograde
Skyscrapers is adorned with 64 black diamonds, these sparkling
towers literally reach for the stars.
