Gerald Genta's Design Principles

[@DickJohnson-e5y]

GG makes time pieces look like artwork on a wrist. His geometric applications. Unrivaled !

[@Cueseca]

That gold Polerouter is stunning, I love Art Deco and the watch fully encapsulates design from that era.

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Me too, especially in rose gold 😁

[@DickJohnson-e5y]

That gold king midas goes crazy ! 🤦🏽‍♂️

You’re welcome!!!

[@IMakeWatches]

Another great one, Felix! Your breakdown of watch case and dial design language is super interesting and a wonderful way of looking at Genta's classic designs!

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Thanks so much my friend, it’s a different approach 😁🙏

[@timinginstruments]

Polerouter- one of the most beautiful watches ever ❤

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Couldn’t agree more ♥️

[@RichMitch]

I've got a Polerouter!

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

A lovely piece 🤝🙏

Hey! Great video! Got one question for you. I have been trying to find sources that confirm that the IWC Golf Club was a Gerald Genta design; however, I have been unsuccessful for the last 5 years. Can you tell me how you know Gerald Genta designed it?

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Hey, glad you liked the video. As mentioned in the video, Genta is credited with designing the Golf Club, but there is no evidence that he actually designed the watch. The only ones who could shed light on this are IWC themselves, but they have never commented on it. Kind regards, Felix

[@Ferragatti]

Hi, what’s the name of the universal on the left in the first section of the video, I mean the one with the little white dial on the center and gold all around

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Can you pls link the minute and second?

[@jeromef2001]

Cool vidéo man. What do you really think of the patek Ellipse? Was it designed by Genta or only inspired ? What does it mean inspired by Genta? Did he work on it? Has he participated in the design?

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Only inspired, it’s not clear why and can’t be proven.

[@jeromef2001]

@@GoldammerVintageWatches thanks for the answer! That s what I understood during my search about genta watches. Nobody can prove that he has something to do with the Ellipse! He has real connection with the omega Constellation but not with the patek I think…

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

He designed Pateks Nautilus 😄

[@aravindaselvarajah5818]

I'm sure it was an innocent mistake (give the pictured watch was correct) but Genta designed the White & Gold Shadow for Universal Geneve...not IWC.

[@faszukozepes6551]

i love rolex king midas. iam sure it will return sooner or later

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

It will, it’s a very unusual design

[@josealfonsosuarez1543]

Si alguien como Rolex le eligio, sin duda es el mejor.

[@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536]

Who is Gerald Genta?

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

🫣🫠

[@Affordy]

……and swatch maybe?

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Swatch?

[@DickJohnson-e5y]

The tic tac toe application to the pasha was a culture shift. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@dieterschanzerbschonsmrics3528]

Your English is excellent - however when you pronounce "2nd" you incorrectly use a "TH" as in "think" and not "S" as in September

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Thanks! I’ll try to keep it in mind for the next episode

[@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536]

I have no principle.

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Ok
