Gérald Genta was one of the greatest watch designers of the 20th century; a visionary who was described as the ‘Picasso of Watches’. In this latest episode of Expert Voices, learn about his revolutionary watch designs and how he brought a new vision, a new dynamism, to the field of horology. Discover how Gérald painted each of his designs, crafted with so much precision they could then be manufactured identical to his illustration.
