Hadrian’s favourite, Antinous was brought to Rome from Bithynia and lived always at his side. This profile tells everything about his figure — inner and outer beauty, both engraved in a few centimetres with extraordinary precision. The carefully carved hair, the perfect profile, the firm chin: every element of the engraving is rendered with a care that reads immediately, when you bring it close. There is something particular in this portrait. That introspective gaze, and this inner self-awareness. Honoured by time itself. It is in the simplicity of this bracelet that the full power of the portrait emerges: a few grams on the wrist, a subject that arrives intact, right now. A portrait that stays with you, every time. The gold chain brings it to the wrist with great ease — flexible, adapting to any wrist. Yellow revives him, gives him new light — fresh, immediate, easy to wear every day. In this colour the profile emerges with great clarity. Pearl caresses the lines differently: the hair, the chin, the details of the engraving shift with every movement, always alive. A surface you enjoy looking at. Porphyry gives him depth — it recalls Roman sculptures, carries something solid and precious, and wears beautifully. Green recalls the gardens of Villa Adriana: the most natural colour for him, classical, effortless to wear. Every colour gives him a different character and a new interpretation. It is extraordinarily light and goes with everything. That too is part of its story — it speaks of us as well. Our GTc signature is engraved on the back of the bezel.

Antinous (also Antinoo or Antinoös; 27 November, c. 111 – before 30 October 130) was a Bithynian Greek youth and a favourite, or lover, of the Roman emperor Hadrian. He was deified after his death, being worshiped in both the Greek East and Latin West, sometimes as a god (theos) and sometimes merely as a deified mortal (heros). Antinous became associated with homosexuality in Western culture, appearing in the work of Oscar Wilde and the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.
