In a bold stride towards the future of horology, Gucci unveils a groundbreaking collection of watches, epitomizing innovative features and avant-garde craftsmanship. It might have been challenging to beat Gucci’s lunar-inspired G-Timeless Planetarium and G-Timeless Moonlight timepieces from the previous year. However, as expected, the brand consistently delivers!
The Gucci’s 25H collection has continued its tradition to showcase jaw dropping complications this year too with the novel minute repeater. Featuring uniquely shaped bridges and a carillon minute repeater with three hammers, each timepiece emits a distinctive and melodious sound reminiscent of a musical instrument. Activated by an innovative rotating bezel, the minute repeater boasts a complex movement of 340 hand-assembled components, yet maintains the collection’s signature streamlined profile.
The openwork dial, crafted through the art of cymatics, displays intricate patterns inspired by the minute repeater’s hammers. With exclusive Roman numeral markers and a tourbillon cage, the Gucci 25H Minute Repeater is available in white or pink gold, exuding luxury and sophistication at 40mm with a matte black alligator strap.

The G-Timeless Planetarium captivates with its unique design, featuring 12 rotating precious stones encircling a central tourbillon in a kaleidoscope of color. Activated by a start-and-stop function, the sparkling stones such as opals, garnets, amethysts and fancy pink rubellites spin gracefully, evoking a chromatic spectacle. Crafted with meticulous detail, the watch is complemented by textured guilloché patterns and diamond-set flower motifs. Available in either white or pink gold, the timepiece is adorned with accents of contrasting blue or subtle golden hues.
The Gucci Interlocking features two iconic complications, the flying tourbillon and jumping hours within a captivating cushion-shaped case. The intricate dial showcases hand-lacquered Roman numerals, concealed behind semi-transparent smoked sapphire glass, while iridescent aventurine glass enhances the minute hand’s movement. With meticulous attention to detail, including a contemporary GG logo-adorned flying tourbillon, the Gucci Interlocking is available in pink or white gold options.
The Gucci 25H Skeleton Tourbillon line sees three renditions, each adorned with matching colored accents on the iconic Interlocking G logo and hands. The avant-garde transparent sapphire case offers a panoramic view of the intricate skeletonized movement, demanding exceptional precision and expertise in its fabrication.
Not showcasing at Watches & Wonders 2024, Gucci’s high watchmaking division raised the bar yet again.
