Guccio Gucci began his small leather goods and luggage company in Florence, Italy, in 1921, he was 40 years old at the time. Now, nearly 100 years later, his work is admired by countless tourists every day at The Gucci Museo, a museum devoted to the iconic Italian luxury brand.

All of the Gucci Precious Timepieces are embellished with exquisite white diamonds. Some have a generous diamond bezel and pretty pyramidal studs on the white mother of pearl dial for an added elegance. Even the sporty lines, such as Gucci Dive watches, feature diamonds, as 45 gems around the bezel bring a beautifully softening touch.
