Catalogue Essay
- The present Guy Ellia Jumbo Chrono showcases an intriguing and unconventional approach to the classic chronograph design. Unlike the typical mirror-polished cases, this example features a matte-finished 18k pink gold case, creating a distinct and sophisticated look.
- Further enhancing the visual appeal of this timepiece is the exotic semi-skeletonized dial, which allows the wearer to admire some intricacies of the movement.
- An interesting detail worth noting is the relatively shorter tail of the chronograph hand. Rather than a traditional counterweight, Guy Ellia has used a diamond as the counterweight, a nice luxury touch to ensure the legibility of the other registers.
- Additionally, the date is presented via a rotational disc at the 2 o'clock position, adding an interesting and unique touch to the overall dial design.
