Some Genta love...

[yellomen]

Last week my new Patek Philippe Nautilus arrived and joined the Vacheron Constantin Overseas, the IWC Ingenieur and Ingenieur chronograph. So just a few shots to share some Genta love

For those of you who have no clue what i'm talking about... Gerald Genta designed some classic watches, like the first Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas, the IWC Ingenieur and the Patek Philippe Nautilus. His design are famous for the way the bracelet and case flow over into eachother.

I think there has been said enough about these watches, but i have to tell you guys that i am totally amazed by the pure quality of the Nautilus. It is very thin, incredibly classy (a rolex daydate on presidential bracelet couldn't come near this class for a dress watch) and simply beautiful

Now on to the pixx

some Genta friends together

And of course all the photographic work had to be inspected...

beautiful pics of beautiful watches...I have just read that Geral Genta will join Hublot to help them in design of new watches that will be presented at Baselworld 2008...so you will add in one year time a new one to your collection that is designed by GG...

Im aonly three short at the moment

Great Photo's. I have the same and am patiently (!!) waiting for the Nautilus. I guess we're all fans of Genta. He is one of the most innovative designers ever. A real artist.

Great shots F. Love the inspector

I have been patiently contemplating the Nautilus for some time now and every new post brings me closer and closer to getting one.

Thanks for sharing

Nice post, and photos...

All you need is the AP RO to help complete the Gerald Genta collection of classics.

All of these watches designed back in the day. He is in fact going to Hubolt next year.

Can't wait to see his new 'Bang' series of signature pieces.

Here is the black dial Nautilus. What a beautiful watch. Thin too win.

Very nice collection. I am glad to be a member of the Genta club as well

Really good photo's, my own Genta collection is already planned, but yet to start - the Nautilus is the favourite to kick it off though..... very soon, hopefully.

Shots like these emphasise the design integrity where the functional aspect (time/date indication) was totally supported by the integrated case and bracelet, with neither detracting from the other, yet seeming to combine and improve the overall aesthetic .............wow, that came out better than I thought .....think I should go back to my shed now......

Very nice collection. I am glad to be a member of the Genta club as well

Without a doubt THE NICEST selection of watches I have ever seen.

What to wear next?

Euno rules Genta.

Great collection yellowmen, you and Eunomians are going to make me buy more watches than I should

Thanks for sharing

[Kollektor]

Thanks - beautiful collection. Didn't know about the Genta heritage re the IWCs.

@Euno... that's a great collection! and a nice pictuures

@All... thanx ... the pictures are quite crappy actually. The lighting was too intense due to the only sunny day we've had this summer. You can see the reflection of the crystal too much although i use a lighttent. Guess i need more experience messing with the whitebalance...

It's also good visible that all my Genta love is soon going to Chieftang for AR coatings and when they come back from uncle Chief they're really top notch

Bravo YelloF.

Great pics and watches.

Now, don't you miss one ....AP RO Chronometer ?

Endless isn't it

Cheers

Stephane

Excellent pictures!

The Inge is my only Gerald Genta watch at the moment. I like it, but have no plans of adding some of his other designs to my collection.

Genta has also designed a Rolex.... The little-known Oysterquartz model!

whoops...dial on PP seems a little bit off to left side.....

Best regards,

Thanx mate

And yes it's endless... i already had the AP RO several years ago and sold it back than because the Panerai bug had bitten me badly! I also had all vintage and new MBW rolex models... and sold them again... this makes it even more endless

..aks Oliver... now there might be another turn in events...
