De Grisogono’s Meccanico dG Watch Has an Analog Face That Simulates Digital

De Grisogono have just showcased a new version of their Meccanico dG watch for Baselworld 2011. This unique watch combines the analog and digital ways of telling time.

This new limited version has a matte black titanium housing, black alligator straps, and it’s studded with 111 rubies (!).

The Meccanico dG was originally released in 2008 and features a simulated digital display via some mechanical micro-segments, including 23 cams, which have been integrated into a system of set gears.

Keep in mind that this is the type of überwatch that if you have to ask the price, you shouldn’t even bother. The non-limited version already costs between $240,000 and $350,000 (USD).
