May 2010 - Continuation of Grand Monaco Collection. New Sport Series – Sport-Style Mobile Phones.
Gresso Company represents a Sport series continuing the exclusive collection of Grand Monaco mobile phones.
It is for the first time when carbon leather is used in production of the phones. Gresso Grand Monaco Sport uses a material that is marvelous by its characteristics, which so far has been applied in the race cars – carbon leather. Manufacture of such leather is a complicated and expensive process. It is the genuine leather specially curried, reinforced and decorated by the carbon coating. Carbon is the material possessing ruggedness and superlightness: it is several times lighter than steel and aluminum.
Grand Monaco Sport case became streamlined, reminding about the world of high velocities and strong and self-assured people. One can feel dynamics and spirit of active and vivid life in the new design. A coating which is used there, being a business card for Grand Monaco phones, is hi-tech ceramics which is applied in space industry.
Keyboard of Sport series phones is manufactured from the thinnest polished steel coated with titanium superalloy that makes its surface mirror-black and resistant to the mechanical damages. Numbers and letters are cut out with laser. Navigation keys made of surgical steel have accurate and perfect shapes.
Basic Grand Monaco Sport series is represented by two models: black ceramics – black leather and metallic ceramics – metallic leather. Owing to the personalization service which Gresso Company offers to its clients, future owner may create individual image of the phone.
Personalization is an essentially new round in mobile sector development. It’s an opportunity to create a unique image of one’s mobile phone, to select various design elements and materials (chic crocodile or carbon leather, titanium, high-tech ceramics). With the help of Customization service one can create up to 40 variations of the phone design in real-time operation mode, and decide in favor of just one reflecting style and world outlook of the owner. Exclusiveness of the phone can be also emphasized by engraving the initials or another personal inscription.
Customization service is available at the Gresso website, in the On-line Boutique section or at the official dealer centres.
April 2010 - Grand Wind Skeleton Collection. Gresso Makes its Watches Debut.
Gresso, primarily known as a manufacturer of high-tech luxury mobile phones, introduced at Baselworld 2010 its first watch collection - Grand Wind Skeleton.
Superaccurate movement and advanced technologies make the essential peculiarities of Gresso Wind Skeleton Collection. It's been for 3 years that the design and movement have been developed. In the pursuit of an ideal realization, over 100 prototypes have been used.
Gresso designers and engineers have introduced an absolutely original concept of watches as such through an artful combination of expressive appearance and innovative interior decoration. At the same time, they did not fail to take the company’s stylistic traditions into account, so they endowed the reverse side of the watches with brilliance and originality.
The Grand Wind Skeleton watch has an elegant 45-mm large and 12-mm high case made of 18K gold and accentuate the charismatic design of the watch. In designing the watchcase, Gresso engineers used carbon, a light and incredibly strong material. Carbon is 5 times lighter than steel and 2 times lighter than aluminum, but it equals these metals in strength. Until recently, this material has been used in space industry only.
The name Grand Wind Skeleton is in close connection with the term "self-winding". This is what completes the creative idea of the collection - massive rotor of 18K gold is situated on the front of the watch face. A polished silicon plate 0,5 mm height partitions the rotor off the movement. To bring this module to life Gresso had to develop its own movement Gresso G1 based on ETA 2671. Its frequency is 28 800 semi-vibrations per hour, and the power reserve of the watch makes 38 hours.
The skeletonized movement is visible from both the external and the internal side of the watch case. The main time marking of the watch dial represents two intersecting circles. Combined with the carbon inlays, they form a molded case, which accentuates the technocratic style of the watch even more.
The bezel of the model is set off with the engraved Roman numerals of XII and VI in the positions of 12 and 6 o’clock, respectively.
Two windows on the face side of the watch are opposed to two windows on the back side thereof, with watch wheels engraved in it. Through one of the windows, you can have a view of the movement operating, while in the other window you can see the second hand made in form of a three-blade propeller. This innovative solution is a part of the uncommon movement used in the Grand Wind Skeleton watches to indicate seconds.
The aesthetic perfection is completed by the movement details polished manually and coated with DLC (diamond-like carbon). The movement details are visible through the sapphire crystals represented here in the all-time highest amount of 5 and with the total karatage of 35. The movement is protected by a specially designed shockproof system.
The back cover is made of 18K gold and tightly fastened with 6 titanium screws. The strap is made of crocodile leather and furnished with deployment buckle coated with black DLC.
The company’s logo and the individual number of each watch are engraved on the back cover of the watch case. The model is produced in a limited edition: 100 watches cased in rose gold and 100 watches cased in white gold.
March 2010 - Gresso concept of personalization. A new step forward in mobile industry.
Personalization is the ultimate expression of luxury. It is also the elemental link in the relationship between a customer and brand, between expectations and service. It is to strengthen this link and to offer a unique experience to its clientele that Gresso has developed a concept of personalization that is totally new in mobile industry, a world first in fact.
Gresso is giving customers the opportunity to create their own mobile phone. This is a phone that will forge an instant and privileged relationship between designer and brand and one that, at the end of the creative process, will assert its unique character. Participating in the creation of such a personal object and playing an active role in determining its final aspect will be an unforgettable experience. In this sense, Gresso is placing the customer right at the centre of the process and thereby determining the shape of tomorrow’s mobile industry.
It is only due to a special design of a phone case that the concept of personalization has been brought to life. In its concern to preserve the aesthetic harmony of the whole and not wanting to make an impact with tens of combinations, though this would be technically possible, Gresso opted for a carefully planned personalization system. For this reason, personalization is based on three elements: case of special titanium alloy with high-tech ceramic covering, various types of leather decoration, keyboard design - absolutely flat or made of polished steel. Engraving the owner’s initials or an inscription on the inside of the device makes the ultimate stage of Gresso personalization service. In total, there are almost 40 combinations available from which to create an exceptional mobile phone that mirrors the owner’s personality.
