(u-s:b /GERALD GENTA + ANTOINE PREZIUSO) Creativity personified in the world of watchmaking, Mr. Gérald Genta has surprised and fascinated watch enthusiasts all over the world for almost fifty years. Defying conventions and fashion trends, he has dreamt up new ways of telling the time. His signature has become synonymous with a subtle alchemy of talent and audacity.

He has given birth to almost a hundred different watches, several of which are true watchmaking masterpieces. A number of them currently feature as key models in the most prestigious of watchmaking brands. And, as a true craftsman, Mr. Gérald Genta has similarly designed historical pieces, such as an automatic minute repeater, housed in an ultra-flat case, and a Grande Sonnerie, a watchmaking masterpiece made up of more than 1000 highly advanced micromechanics parts. Acclaimed by the entire community of connoisseurs and declared the world’s most complicated wristwatch in 1994, this feat testified to a watchmaker at the very pinnacle of his art.

His creativity appears to be uncheckable, as if everything he has achieved in the past simply serves to spur him on to what is to come. The seasoned eye of the master is constantly alert, ready to absorb forms and systems which his inventive spirit then transforms, adapts or renews. And each time he creates something new, each time he comes up with another discovery, that selfsame air of delight prevails once again, both for the inventor-watchmaker himself and for the entire community of connoisseurs.

A multi-faceted creator, Mr. Gérald Genta similarly cultivates a taste for painting. His artistic talents have been nurtured since the age of seven, when he first discovered the pleasure of excursions into unadulterated nature to seek out enchanting landscapes. Devoted to watchmaking, he gave up his brushes and easels for a time in order to create the models to which he owes his fame. Although Mr. Gérard Genta displays true rigorousness in his watchmaking creations, the artist in him continues to dream of splendid compositions, bursting with colour, where he can let his imagination run loose. It is thus only natural that, having gained recognition in the world of watchmaking, Mr. Gérald Genta should return to his first love.

Today, the watchmaker has succeeded in uniting his two passions. Giving preference to freedom and boldness over productivity, he sold his first company and reconnected with true craftsmanship by launching the new Gérald Charles brand in 2001. This takes up two-thirds of his time, the remainder being devoted to the polychrome dreams that he expresses in two dimensions.

MR. GERALD GENTA & ANTOINE PREZIUSO: A FRUITFUL MEETING OF TWO BIG MASTERS OF WATCHMAKING

Nothing was to be left to chance when devising the true masterpiece of the Gérald Charles collection. Mr. Gérald Genta, who had designed the piece already and had it pictured in his mind, thus called upon an expert in mechanical movements to translate the heart of this splendid grand complication into practice.

A true virtuoso and aesthete, Antoine Preziuso devotes himself unceasingly to injecting beauty into every last detail of a watch. His patience and skill, the keys to his infinite precision, opened up the field of extreme miniaturisation to him – a field in which he rapidly excelled. Always on the lookout for new challenges and with a passion for developing limited series to give full rein to his inventiveness, he plunged into the adventure without a second’s hesitation.

“Surprising oneself, pushing back one’s own limits”, could be the motto of these two talented creators. There is thus nothing exceptional about the fact that they have teamed up to confront one of the most difficult exercises of mechanical watchmaking. A piece of this technical sophistication calls for care right down to the very last detail, for the resolution of the full range of constraints. These stringent demands, this constant quest for performance, has paid off brilliantly, since the two talented creators have additionally succeeded in adding elegance to the starting variable.

Both creators are now eagerly awaiting the reactions of the public and watch collectors. And it’s a safe bet that they will not be disappointed.
