de GRISOGONO 'Crazy Skull' is the Epitome of Watchmaking and Jewellery

18 November 2014

By Scott Campbell

The newly-unveiled Crazy Skull jewellery timepiece from de GRISOGONO celebrates life in the most irreverent and playful way.

It is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that is the epitome of the art of watchmaking and jewellery. The cranium-shaped watch is set with more than 890 diamonds or rubies totaling 23 carats.

An exclusive bespoke art object that takes the best of both worlds and admirably showcases de GRISOGONO’s dual expertise. This superlative creation plays with the fleeting nature of life and perfectly embodies the de GRISOGONO spirit.

The skull theme has been celebrated in contemporary art and fashion world for years. Often perceived as a provocative symbol, it also has positive and thoughtful meanings such as change, courage, bravery, non-conformity and free-thinking. Above all, it invites people to live life to its fullest.

By proposing an endearing character, de GRISOGONO introduces an original and unique design. The talking piece asserts the brand’s audacity and excellence.

According to the Genevan watchmaker, the Crazy Skull took 12 months to develop and features a playful mechanism allowing the skull to stick out its tongue, set with 66 pink sapphires or rubies and surrounded by white, baguette-cut diamond teeth.

The watch's dials are placed inside the eye sockets, showing two different time zones at once.

Once again, by challenging the fundamentals of watchmaking and jewellery, by pushing boundaries and freeing himself of any constraints, de Grisogono creative director Fawaz Gruosi demonstrates his ingenious and exuberant creativity, adding:

You have to have a lot of character to wear it, because it’s quite visible."
