Set to launch at the next GRAMMY® nominations event, December 1, the I-Gucci GRAMMY® widget is the official timekeeper to music’s biggest night. And it looks great to boot!
The widget designed by wollzelle allows music enthusiasts to keep an eye on the countdown to the big event, the 53rd GRAMMY® Music Awards, set to take place at 8 PM on February 13, 2011. Fast-dwindling seconds are turned into meaningful calendar data including days, hours and minutes, rolling by in real time.
And because the countdown to such a significant event comes with its fare share of milestones, reveals and cliffhangers, the widget also provides direct one-click access to the GRAMMY® and Gucci Twitter feeds, for short and timely updates right from the desktop.
Of course, all this functionality would not come from Gucci were it not rolled into one stylish package: the widget is styled after the two genuine I-Gucci watch models, in black or white, and comes with a full-featured virtual version of the physical timepiece’s face, featuring the time in LA and the user’s current location.
Detailed touches relying on both careful handcrafted design and cutting-edge web rendering technologies, such as carefully-applied distortions and shading, give the widget an unprecedented realism that is sure to make it stand out on screens worldwide.
The widget is available for Mac and PC and can be downloaded via Guccitimeless.com or directly from Apple.com or Yahoo!
Update June 2011
For the 54th Annual Awards the widget became a web based companion integrated directly on GRAMMY.com. Next to the countdown it features the two models of the exceptional collection of the new I-Gucci GRAMMY edition showing LA and local time and date.
