After years of triumphant collaborations with various manufacturers as a designer, Gérald Genta naturally took the initiative to establish a company bearing his name in 1969, dedicated to crafting timepieces of unparalleled prestige for a select group of collectors. Genta’s creations stand out for their use of precious materials, irresistible design, and audacious complications. In the late 1990s he unveiled the first retrograde watch, seamlessly combining jumping hours and retrograde minutes. This intricate and demanding mechanism reflects the distinctive DNA of the company, perfectly marrying innovative designs with complications that demand exceptional craftsmanship. Over the years, Genta transformed the retrograde time display into one of his signature elements, featuring playful dials representing Disney characters alongside more traditional examples. The exquisite timepiece presented here is a splendid representative of the reference G.3624. Crafted in stainless steel and accompanied by a meticulously executed bracelet of the same material, the round case has been very nicely preserved, with the engraving on the case back still remarkably clear. The dial is adorned with a captivating and colorful waves guilloché engraved decoration. Positioned at 6 o’clock, the jumping hour adds a touch of charm, while between 8 and 4, the retrograde minutes sector in mother-of-pearl is adorned with large Arabic numerals. This meticulous combination of design elements showcases the artistic prowess and technical innovation synonymous with Gérald Genta’s creations.
