The Italian fashion house is at Baselworld, which wraps up Tuesday in Basel, Switzerland to present its new line of unisex watches, “Grip”. The collection features a distinct and innovative design, which is a touch vintage and suitable for both feminine and masculine wrists.

The  “Grip” watch line stands out thanks to its casing and its single-faceted dial. Square in shape, the case is styled with delicate contours that create a round effect, and the dial features windows offering a glimpse of rotating own white discs to tell –  from top to bottom –  the hour, minute and the date.

This particular collection is made up of four models using a variety of materials: one has a PVD yellow gold case and bracelet, a second has a stainless steel case and bracelet, a third has a steel case and a green calfskin bracelet, and the fourth features a PVD yellow gold case and a bordeaux-coloured calfskin bracelet. All  highlight the iconic double G, signature of the Gucci fashion house.
