Gérald Genta is launching three watches inspired by the 1994 Oursin, among the “few creations that he was the proudest of,” said his widow Evelyne Genta.
is picking up where the legendary watch designer left off with a first capsule by its in-house experimental design laboratory called Gentissima.
For this 1994 design, Genta was inspired by sea urchins spotted during a family summer vacation in Corsica, turning their spiny features, particularly the beady tests they leave behind, into a round case. Only a handful were produced and their rarity makes them are a hotly sought-after collector item.La Fabrique du Temps’s watchmaking artistic director Matthieu Hegi called the Oursin design as “a fascinating model for a designer, with an almost infinite creative potential.
“ pays homage homage to Mr. Genta’s passion for the octagon, which is also hidden in the shape of the first, round at first glance,” Hegi continued. There’s a tone-on-tone anthracite gray version with a guilloché dial and white gold spheres; one with a pink guilloché mother-of-pearl dial and diamond-studded rose gold elements dotting the outside, and a matte DLC-coated black take featuring a solid black dial and yellow gold spikes on the outside.
