de Grisogono Crazy Skull S02 Watch Review – Unique Haute Jewelry Timepiece
The de Grisogono Crazy Skull S02 is an extraordinary haute jewelry watch, combining masterful craftsmanship with playful macabre design. Its 3D skull-shaped case is set with nearly 900 gemstones totaling 23 carats, making it one of the most eye-catching creations in the Crazy Skull collection. The ingenious design uses the eye sockets as dual time displays, while a concealed mechanism animates the jaw to create a subtle “tongue-out” expression, adding a whimsical yet edgy character.
Each component of the skull is carefully adorned. The head features a round diamond snowflake setting, the nose is accented with a 1.5 ct heart-shaped ruby sculpted from a 3 ct rough stone, and the teeth are represented by 20 baguette-cut rubies arranged in a lifelike manner. The tongue is decorated with 66 pink sapphires and rubies, completing the skeletal smile with vibrant detail.
The two black dials, visible through sapphire crystal eye openings, display time in two separate zones, powered by the precise SF 10-44 quartz movement. The dial is decorated with black and white rubies arranged in a spiral pattern, symbolizing the continuous flow of time.
The strap is crafted from pearl fish skin, offering a unique texture and luxurious feel, while the clasp mirrors a crossed-bone shape and is set with rubies, echoing the skull motif. This attention to detail ensures the watch is not only a timepiece but also a statement jewelry piece.
