With its ingenious, stunning and stylish “at-a-glance” calendar, Fawaz Gruosi’s new design, the Instrumento Grande Open Date, will delight everyone with an eye for the unusual. Not only has its dial revealed its every secret, its heart can also be observed through an opening at 9 o’clock in the case rim. Protected by a sapphire crystal, it provides a penetrating view of the movement from an unexpected angle.
