Gucci is a brand you can expect to provide fashion-forward pieces. Tracing back to the late 1990s, Gucci was brave enough to start something new and express its artistry in timepieces. Staying true to its love for fashion and creativity, the initial offerings of the brand still promised luxury. Well, that’s exactly what you would expect from a brand like Gucci.
Last 2019, Gucci unveiled another masterpiece, this time taking inspiration from the 1970s skater culture. This watch got its namesake from the way its design would fit so snugly on the wearer’s wrist, comparable to the way a skateboarder’s sneakers would stick to the grip tape attached to a skateboard.
The Gucci Grip Watch wowed the crowd with its exceptionally unique design. Quite frankly, it’s very difficult to think of a watch design that rivals the concept of this one. Its face is almost completely made of stainless steel. Then, you would notice three windows that give you a peek into the hour, minute and date.
For the technical details, this watch is Swiss made and comes with a two-year warranty. It has Ronda quartz movement and offers water resistance for up to 3 ATM or 30 meters.
Exuding both a timeless style with hints of contemporary influence, it can be hard to ignore the appeal of this masterpiece. To be honest, this design screams the peculiarities you can expect from a very experimental brand. At closer look, this watch seems similar to the features of a weighing scale. But that’s just because hidden by the stainless steel case are white rotating disks that move to display time.
One thing that you can’t deny though is the way Gucci is marketing this particular model. Shouting a gender-neutral watch anywhere and anytime they can, this modern approach will capture the hearts of the influencer generation.
Not only that; though this model comes with a stunning green alligator Grip strap, the buyer will not be boxed in one design. Perfect for expressing the current mood, feel, or just to match whatever your wearing, Gucci also offers orange leather, Bordeaux leather, black leather, and yellow alligator options.
In terms of pricing, this model is on par with other Gucci releases, available for $1,800.00.
