With its first appearance in Baselworld’s Hall 1 and the opening of a new boutique in Zurich, Graff is continuing to make its way in the world of watchmaking through models reflecting its expertise in the field of fine jewelry. Graff timepieces are notably distinguished by their special-shaped cases, such as the famous patented facetted case of the men’s models illustrated here by the Gyrograff ; or the Arabian and floral influences pervading the FloralGraff available with several sapphire and strap colors. The quintessence of horological and jewelry expertise is magnificently showcased in the new Diamond GyroGraff, featuring a three-dimensional moon-phase display echoing the double-axis tourbillon. This technical demonstration also involves the patented invisible setting on the bezel adorned with 72 hexagonal and triangular diamonds. This limited series demonstrates unlimited artistry.
