The Samsung Gear S2 is probably the most fashionable smartwatch the South Korean company has produced to date. Versions finished in Rose Gold and Platinum pushed it further into the realm of fashionable accessories when they were introduced earlier this year . Samsung today pushed further into that space by unveiling the Samsung Gear S2 by de GRISOGONO, a fashion collaboration with de GRISOGONO, a Swiss jewelry and watchmaker.
de GRISOGONO transformed the Gear S2 using a rose gold finish inset with 56 white diamonds (about 1.2 carats) complemented by a black DLC-coated stainless steel accents inset with 71 black diamonds (about 1.8 carats). The watch is finished with a bracelet studded with de GRISOGONO’s signature galuchat, a type of rawhide usually made with shark or ray skin. Needless to say, the bezel rotates like it does on other Gear S2 models to allow the user to access apps and features.
“de GRISOGONO has always been associated with daring products and a visionary approach to High Jewellery and watches,” said Fawaz Gruosi Founder and Creative Director, de GRISOGONO. “Designing a connected watch with Samsung has been an incredible experience for both brands. Samsung brought to the table the best and most intuitive technology, while de Grisogono brought its glamorous design and craftsmanship expertise. The resulting Samsung Gear S2 by de Grisogono clearly embodies all of our boldness in watch design and our jewellery savoir-faire, while maintaining all of Samsung’s technological capabilities and intuitive usage. This watch will take an honourable place alongside de GRISOGONO’s Meccanico, Otturatore and Occhio, as another of our brand’s revolutionary approaches to displaying time.”
