(You're so post-modern.) That's right, contrary to its appearance the Meccanico dG has no digital components whatsoever. The numerical display beneath the traditional analog clock is driven by the intricate interplay of 651 strictly mechanical components. The numbers are formed by the motion of 23 cams, which are connected to gears and a synchronization system. Don't believe it? Check out the watch's back which features a transparent dial plate, affording close scrutiny of the timepiece's inner workings. Billed as the world's most complicated watch, its creation marks the 50th birthday of the Geneva-based company De Grisogono.
