When it comes to turning smartwatches into luxury timepieces, Samsung and LG are relentless but this time round, we think Samsung may have taken the cake in the luxury department with the Samsung Gear S2 by de GRISOGONO. This limited edition smartwatch is sculpted in gold and precious jewels by the Swiss luxury jeweller. The result is very de GRISOGONO: bold and luxuriously loud, featuring a rose gold and black DLC-coated stainless steel case embellished with 71 black and 56 white diamonds, paired to a set of straps studded with the Swiss jeweller’s signature galuchat and black DLC-coated stainless steel triple folding clasp.
The diamond-set gold bezel turns freely around the dial, allowing you elegant and quick access to applications and features found on the Gear S2. The notion of luxury does not stop at the hardware; it can also be found on the two watch faces offered. The first features a two-hand dial with dual-time display, day/night indicator at 3 o’clock, day-date at 6 o’clock and a smaller seconds at 9 o’clock. The other watch face is more minimalistic, featuring a two-hand dial with a central seconds counter, a power-reserve indicator and a moon phase at 4 o’clock and 8 o’clock position, respectively.
Beyond the luxury touches, the Samsung Gear S2 Smartwatch by de GRISOGONO is every bit of the Gear S2 you expect it to be. Which means you will be greeted with features and specs like a 1.2-inch circular Super AMOLED display with 360×360 resolution (302ppi for the pixel density-obsessed folks), 512MB RAM, 4GB onboard storage, wireless b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1 technology, NFC, 250mAh lithium-ion battery, wireless charging, and the usual suspects of sensors that makes a smartwatch ticks. The luxury smartwatch made its debut last week at the Baselworld 2016 and will be available for your taking, for an yet-to-be-disclosed sum, starting this summer.
