When I first joined the team at Lussori, I couldn’t understand all the fuss over watches. I remember listening to the guys have in depth conversations about in house movements and complications and this thing called a Tourbillon (which I still don’t get) and thinking to myself – you’ve got to be kidding me! We have 10 carat diamonds lying around and you want to talk about watches? Oh the horror!

It has been two years now and I can proudly say my horological knowledge has expanded. So I’ve been feeling pretty confident about my new found appreciation. Until one day, in our boutique in Carmel, my co-worker Julius asked me what my favorite watch was . . . and I couldn’t answer. I was dumbfounded. I couldn’t believe that I didn’t have one. Not even a fake one! How pathetic.

I hastily considered my options. Harry Winston: too bougie . Omega: too sporty. Chopard: too perky. Bvlgari: too Bvlgari. Piaget: too dainty. Corum: too bubbly. Audemars Piguet: too masculine. All of a sudden I start wondering, have I been faking it this whole time? Am I a total horological phony?

I begin contemplating the meaning of the last two years of my life, and suddenly find myself in front of the de Grisogono case. It was as if God had dropped this collection down from heaven and there, six inches in front of me, was the very first watch I have ever loved. The Instrumentino Dual Time.

First of all, the brown gold is genius and I love it. It reminds me of chocolate and looks great with my skin tone. I’m normally not a fan of the Galuchat (stingray), but here it adds a well balanced texture to the rich smoothness of the brown gold case. It’s so good I could eat it! The diamonds are few and golden brown (quality wink wink), so it doesn’t look like an offensive blob of bling on your arm. The dial is simple with only 8 and 4. Plus, it’s a GMT which makes it that much cooler.

I want one.
