Gucci has extended its Twirl collection of watches, creating rubber editions that it has described as “modern classics”. The original stainless steel Twirl watches are still available.

The rubber watches feature Gucci’s iconic interlocking GG logo and are available in brown, white, pastel pink and pink.

Separately, Gucci welcomed Patrizio di Marco as chairman and chief executive at the beginning of this month. Di Marco had previously been president and chief executive of PPR’s Bottega Veneta.

Gucci, also part of the PPR group, delivered positive results in the first half of 2008. Sales jumped 6.4% for the nine months to September 30.
