Since the dawn of man and the formation of artistic expression, eroticism has featured heavily in art and design. A most basic of instincts it has ben used in literature, painting and furniture to automata and watchmaking - forever proving a poignant, powerful and playful release of creativity.
Eroticism has, in watchmaking, roots casting back many hundreds of years. Through the dial of this watch, Genta displays an erotic scene, that is set into motion through the use of the minute repeating function, recalling similar automata that can be found on historic watches.
