Like the de Grisogono jewellery creations, Cascata radiates a noble bearing, backed by inimitable self-confidence and distinguished complex architecture imbued with unity and rhythm. Matter is tinged with poetry, of which the secret lies in a gemset gold wire structure that brings the silhouette of the watch to life.
Evoking a stream of precious stones, Cascata features dainty prongs paved with 126 brilliant-cut diamonds bearing the 72 oval-cut stones composing the watch bezel. The prongs dominate and punctuate a torrent of gems totalling more than 30 carats, forming a subtly graduated flow that in turn traces the oval shape of the watch and reveals a dial snow-set with 148 stones. The case-back is sculpted with volutes outlined in diamonds.
To ensure the densest possible setting and create the impression that the gems merge into a seamless whole, the artisans of the Maison de Grisogono have spent almost 100 hours recutting the oval-shaped stones.
Cascata's charm is conveyed through three colourful variations: white gold and white diamonds; white gold with emeralds on top and white diamonds below; and pink gold with amethysts and above and rubies beneath. The gold triple folding clasp of the galuchat strap displays a new aesthetic specially designed to match the spirit of the Cascata watch. Shining in its centre sits an over one-carat rose-cut stone delicately framed by a pavé setting.
Cascata is powered by the calibre SF 10-47, a quartz movement displaying the hours and minutes. The time-setting corrector is situated on the case-back.
