GERALD GENTA

European Watch Clock and Jewellery Fair 1993 BF 608
Two extraordinary clocks from Graid Genta. Not only do they feature a full “Grand Strike” mechanism with both “in passing” (i.e. automatic) strike of hours and quarters, and repetition strike of hours, quarters and minutes, they also include an openworked perpetual calendar against an opal ground. The hours are shown by baguette diamonds. The design and construction of these exceptional timepieces required three years of work by a team of skilled craftsmen led by master watchmakers.
