Gangi: ScaccoMatto GMT3. Checkmate. The watch imagined by Pasquale Gangi got its name since it is directly inspired from the world of finance for its time zones and of from the game of chess. It was born from a meeting between the young Queen of world wide chess, Alexandra Kosteniuk, who was looking for an original present for a Russian personality, and the Italian creator Pasquale Gangi. The result was the ScaccoMatto GMT3, which is a pocket watch with 3 Time Zones that also incorporates a system of timing of games of chess. Based on a manual wind mechanical movement with double barrels the patented GMT3 enjoys a 120 hour power reserve and was conceived, developed and produced according to the criteria of the high Swiss watch making, yet evokes a charged impression with its disruptive approach to design. Each piece is signed Gangi and Alexandra Kosteniuk. Learn more about this and other outside the box pocket watches at www.gangi.it 2016 | Wristwatch 51
