I Don’t Like Watches: Gérald Genta, The Unintended Revolutionary


Before they were icons, they were lines on a page. The Royal Oak, the Nautilus, the Ingenieur, drawn by the hand of one man who reimagined the very shape of time. But who was Gérald Genta beyond the legend? In this exclusive conversation, Alexia Genta reflects with Nick Foulkes on the father, the artist, the dreamer behind the designs. Together they trace the story of a man whose imagination continues to beat at the heart of watchmaking, reminding us that great design, like time itself, never truly fades.

Speakers:
Nicholas Foulkes, Author, Historian and Journalist
Alexia Genta, Co-founder of Gérald Genta Heritage Association
