De Grisogono is a Swiss luxury jeweller. It was founded in 1993 by black diamond specialist Fawaz Gruosi.  Jewelry manufacturers turning an eye to watchmaking are not ofetn taken seriously by horological fans.  So when jewerly brand de Grisgono debuted in the watch industry, the company had to confront all sorts of prejudice.  The critics fell silent, however, when it became clear that the owner wasn't just going to make gem-encrusted watches, but was looking to expand its portfolio with great timepieces. 

With a research and development unit, the watch workshop can pride itself on beign in charge of every project carried out under the corporate label since its first watch -making venture in 2000.  It can also claim a series of patent registrations.  Most watch components are currently still acquired from third-party sources that are well-known for their topflight workmanship and dependability.  The workshop nevetheless closely monitors the entire manufacturing process via a series of stringent tests and inspections of parts and components.  All de Grisogono designs are entirely assembled at the workshop.
