Gucci continues to pay homage to Italian traditions and its Florentine heritage with the launch of new high jewelry and watch collections inspired by Italian gardens and the brand’s historic codes, reports Robb Report.

The Labirinti Gucci collection, first introduced in 2024, has expanded with 20 unique pieces. Highlights include a choker necklace evoking a hidden fountain in a labyrinth: clean lines of diamonds accentuate a striking 24.75-carat tanzanite and a 5.94-carat Paraiba tourmaline. Another standout is a ring featuring a 6.02-carat Brazilian aquamarine set on a delicate band adorned with Paraiba tourmalines and diamond “petals” mimicking a rose.

Iconic Gucci motifs like the Horsebit receive a fresh reinterpretation, appearing across bracelets, earrings, rings, and necklaces. A true showstopper is a lavish diamond bracelet encrusted with sapphires and a large 5.19-carat stone.

The jewelry collection concludes with an updated Marina Chain motif — a tribute to Italy’s 1960s maritime culture. The archival chain transforms into a vibrant set of necklace and bracelet, studded with hundreds of rubies, tsavorites, and sapphires in every shade of the rainbow.

Watches: Diamond Tourbillons and an Ode to the Colosseum

Gucci’s haute horlogerie matches the jewelry’s craftsmanship and aesthetics. The G-Timeless line grows with five new models featuring dials inspired by the brand’s archival silk scarves. These miniature engraved and hand-painted dials depict floral compositions, maritime scenes with ships, savannas, and a jockey — each equipped with diamond-set tourbillons.

The collection is further enriched by two new models in the Gucci 25H and Gucci Interlocking lines. The Gucci 25H Amphitheater references the Colosseum with skeletonized tourbillon watches featuring a 3D effect and baguette diamonds. The multi-layered rose gold case creates a striking yet practical timepiece.

The new Gucci Interlocking model is a 41mm watch with a tourbillon and a “jumping” hour indicator, adorned with the iconic double G. The rose gold cushion-shaped case is set with diamonds of various sizes, exuding luxury and sophistication.
