Gérald Genta created extraordinary unique pieces. Gracefully placed on a beautiful rock crystal base, each table clock at its center featured a terrific perpetual calendar clock set with precious stones, pearls and other hardstone materials. The present clock is part of the incredible Animal Clock series, which was compared to the work of Faberge. The designs that follow this were the pink gold Elephant Clock, then the 24k gold Lion clock after the white gold Polar bears, and finally the green gold Crocodiles. Each clock was of similar size.

 

Typically featuring a family of animals, Mr. Genta usually personally sculpted the creatures by himself taking the responsibility for the most exceptional of outcomes.

 

The Royal Eagle family, painted by Gerald Genta circa 1994 is a masterpiece considered a work of art that his most important clients treasure for their beauty, uniqueness and signature, Mr. Gérald Charles Genta.
