Gérald Genta Retro Solo "Mother of Pearl" ref.G3671 from 2000´s

Gerald Genta, a notable Swiss watch designer, transformed the watchmaking industry through his daring and distinctive creations. Commencing his career as an apprentice at Patek Philippe during the 1950s, Genta swiftly gained renown for his imaginative and pioneering designs. In 1969, he established his own design studio, attaining a revered status as one of the most sought-after watch designers in the field. He crafted some of the 20th century's most iconic timepieces, notably including the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, the Patek Philippe Nautilus, and the IWC Ingenieur. Genta's designs were distinguished by their unique forms, material application, and meticulous craftsmanship, leaving an enduring influence on watchmakers and enthusiasts globally.

Genta also created numerous exquisite and perhaps more fanciful designs under his own brand. This "jump hour" timepiece originates from the latter phase of Genta's brand and holds a place in history as an affordable example of high horology from the portfolio of such an influential designer. The watch case blends elements of a tonneau and rectangular shape, fitting comfortably on wrists ranging from small to medium sizes and beyond. With dimensions of 32mm in width and 45mm in length, it features a pleasantly curved design, offering a harmonious blend of sporty and formal aesthetics when worn. The dial, presented in an attractive off-white hue, artfully indicates the time with prominent Arabic numerals. Of notable significance, this piece hails from the authentic Genta era of production before his brand was acquired by Bvlgari.
