Notes

Gerald Genta needs to further introduction as the genius designer of some of the most famous and collectible watches today. Extremely prolific and creative, he designed for his own brand a huge variety of wristwatches, clocks and even sun glasses. Among these is this very interesting brass circular desk clock featuring 3 dimensional markers as well as curved hands set at the bottom. Probably only produced in a few examples, this is an interesting opportunity to acquire another revolutionary design by the most famous watch designer ever known.
