1 0 5 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I form within itself, enclosing time in a fortress, and encircling it with the dazzling fire, light, and energy of precious stones that are sculpted in harmony with the perfectly proportioned square form of the elegant and robust case. So much more than a watch, the Allegra is more comparable to a jewel that tells the time. But most of all, it is a quintessentially, exuberantly feminine bracelet. In deciding how to place this double square on the wrist, Fawaz Gruosi has recaptured the essence of the supremely elegant wrist watches of the 1930s when the stars of the silver screen wore precious wristwatches on delicate cords that exuded grace and class. The diverse mixture of texture and tone further adds to this reminiscent feel, creating a timepiece that is effortlessly chic yet confidently understated. Comfort comes in the form of flexibility and sympathetic structure and design, but without compromising the strength of character that a watch like this must contain. Above all, Allegra is about creating a tender, multi-facetted and colourful companionship between the watch itself and the woman who wears it. The leather bonds both hold and release; their relaxed suppleness is an emblem of faithfulness and independence, keeping step with every movement and every precious moment in time. Dedicated to a new generation of women, who express their radiance and explore their individuality with style, this collection avoids the stereotypes of the conventional. Born instead of a dream of vivid beauty, and crafted in preciousness, this collection mischievously mingles gold, leather and precious stones. Vivaciously colourful, evoking softness and splendour, the Allegra delights, encapsulating the inimitable de Grisogono magic.
