IdentityGERALD GENTA

Gérald genta creations embody stories of beauty and elegance that are now being reinterpreted with a new perspective. Upon the brand's revival in 2023, gérald genta evokes unbridled creativity, where pure glamour and confidence reign. Artistic Director Matthieu Hegi breaks conventional rules of horology to create pieces that captivate those with a discerning eye. Through an artistic and organic approach to design, every detail is meticulously refined and reveals brilliance through flawless elegance. The gérald genta brand represents the sublimation of the unexpected into art with an element of sophisticated sensuality.From Geneva, Switzerland, Mr. Genta’s designs represented a radical direction in the industry. While already designing for other brands, he established his brand in 1969, embarking on a journey to push the boundaries of creativity. Notorious for drawing one sketch per day, Mr. Genta was the choice of the global elite and royalty for designing unique watches.

By beginning with a pure artistic vision, we are therefore unbound by technical limitations and can allow creativity to lead the design process. Each design goes beyond watchmaking.

Each curve of the Gentissima Oursin embodies unrestricted creativity and elegance. It was designed to travel through every facet of emotions to connect art and life. The Gentissima Oursin is the ultimate companion of freedom, crafted to celebrate extraordinary moments. All three models play with contrasts to seduce the eyes and are finished in a hidden octagonal shape, Mr. Genta’s favorite shape.

INSPIRATION

Gérald Genta was known for his pursuit of the extraordinary. His impact went beyond haute horlogerie and took risks with statement designs, while others focused on traditional mechanical or quartz watches. Master Watchmakers Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini recall Mr. Genta’s flamboyant yet natural artistic approach that reignited global interest in watchmaking. Today, the brand creates unique capsule collections and limited editions, embracing bold design and modernity, honoring Mr. Genta’s visionary spirit. Through wrist-worn art, it revives and reinterprets the Gérald Genta DNA into whimsical horological creations.
