The name Gérald Genta stands for creative watchmaking; Genta has no interest in conventions and trends but succeeds in finding ever new ways of telling the time. For decades he developed successfull concepts and extraordinary designs for major watchmakers - designs such as, for example, the Patek Philippe "Nautilus", the Audemars Piguet "Royal Oak" or the IWC "Ingenieur"; a whole era of Swiss watchmaking bears his mark. Today many of these watches are highlights in the collections of the most exclusive brands and Genta started his own trade name in the late 1980s with great success.
