GUCCI
A Reaffirmation from GUCCI This Autumn.
It is "L’AVEUGLE PAR AMOUR" (Blind for Love).
The four secret watches, released from the iconic Le Marché des Merveilles collection, feature a style where the dial appears when the cat head motif is slid. These models embody the creative vision of GUCCI's Creative Director, Alessandro Michele.

Slide the Head to Read the Time
In the latest secret watch, the 32mm version, beautiful colors merge with a contemporary spirit. The red resin case is paired with a green-red-green Web nylon strap.

The other two models, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship, feature an antique-finished silver case with intricate engraving, adorned with a cat head cover and paired with a beautiful mother-of-pearl dial. The antique-finished silver bangle, engraved with the same motif as the case, is embellished with blue-red-blue or green-red-green Web stripes, demonstrating novelty through a sophisticated combination of materials and textures.
This bold cat head is also incorporated into jewelry and accessory collections, fully expressing GUCCI's unique creativity and superior design.
If a wristwatch is unnecessary in modern life, why not simply hide the dial? A wristwatch serves the role of adorning the wrist.
This seems to be the humorous sentiment from GUCCI.
