Dubey & Schaldenbrand Gran’Chrono watches are famous for their distinct dial looks that is sure to get attention. But its stylish women’s version, Gran’Chrono Astro is far more attractive than its predecessor. What makes this spectacular Gran’Chrono Astro diamond watch apart from its famous forerunner, the Gran’Chrono model, is its triple date function of indicating day of the week, day of the month and month, as well as the moon phase function.

All these innovative complications are housed into same, curved tonneau-shaped case, rendered in 4N (18K) pink gold. Paved with 432 TW/VS diamonds weighing 8.92 carats in total. This alluring and enticing model from Dubey & Schaldenbrand is also armed with anti-reflective sapphire crystals both on dial side and case-back.

The case is fitted with push-pieces, which were intentionally created to enhance aesthetic appeal of watch and ensure optimal comfort. It took over 90 operations and 16 months to produce final prototype of double curvature of the case, while the exclusive guilloché dial required same meticulous attention, with a total of 85 different stages.

The Gran’Chrono Astro watch case is embraced with a breathtaking dial, embellished with a black guilloche pattern. The dial reveals day and month exhibition window, located at 12 o’clock, while the moon phase aperture is placed at 6 o’clock. The dial also exposes a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock and 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock.

Animating functions of minutes, hours, day, date, months, moon phase and chronograph, resulting in a beautiful must have watch, is an automatic caliber, entirely executed by the Dubey & Schaldenbrand.

Featuring hand-decorated gold finishing, the movement charters a chronometer-quality escapement, a skeletonized rotor, as well as a stop seconds system to provide an absolutely accurate time-setting. Accompanied by a Louisiana alligator leather strap, this watch is truly magnificent. What do you think?
