This wonderful design brilliantly shows how Gérald Genta would enjoy exploring a theme and see how far he could play with it. As an artist, it was a very stimulating and satisfying exercise he would do every single day. While he has designed other watches linked to tennis, this example focuses on the tennis racket, in fact, it is almost a study of the sporting utensil. Genta was thinking about all the different aspects of a watch. In this case, the shape of the watch is the central focus, designed extreme attention, the complication as well as the curved case allows for more comfort. It is an exceptional demonstration of his talent, vision and attention to every aspect surrounding his creations.
