The Italian fashion house is part of the Kering Group, which also has Ulysse Nardin and Girard-Perregaux in their stable. Understandably, Gucci is leveraging on the watchmaking expertise within the Kering umbrella, under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, known for his maximalist designs.
Gucci 25H

Gucci’s Green Initiatives
Alessandro Michele has created an interesting collection centered around haute horology and iconic Gucci style.
In addition to creating a collection that elevates Gucci watches from beautiful jewelry to horological mastery, there is an underlying sense of responsibility to the ethical sourcing of materials. Gucci ensures that 100 percent of their gold is certified by the Responsible Jewelry Council Chain of Custody certification scheme to guarantee verified responsible sources, and they follow the Kering Responsible Gold Framework to source gold in a responsible manner.
The Gucci high watchmaking designs can be discovered by appointment at Gucci’s dedicated fine watch and jewelry boutique at Place Vendôme, Paris.
