The latest collection from the revived watchmaking icon Gérald Genta introduces three evocative watches inspired by the 1994 Oursin. The Oursin, originally sketched by Gérald Genta after a family vacation in Corsica, features a unique aesthetic with a round case and deeply convex sides studded with beads. The 2024 Oursin models reinterpret Genta’s vision for a contemporary audience, maintaining the complexity, audacity, and distinctiveness of the original design. Each model has a convex titanium case studded with 223 beads, available in white gold, rose gold and diamonds, or yellow gold. The first model in the Gentissima Oursin collection, the Gentissima Oursin Gray, is characterized by its stark elegance and adaptability. This model features an anthracite dial with a tone-on-tone color palette, a finely etched guilloché dial, and polished round white-gold case beads. Its design allows it to blend seamlessly into various environments while also standing out as a neo-baroque style statement when needed. The anthracite-dial model is ideal for wearers with a chameleonic streak, ready to transform from a discreet wrist companion to a bold fashion statement. At the heart of the Gentissima Oursin collection is the automatic-winding GG-005, based on the Zenith Elite, a high-performance movement from the renowned Le Locle manufacture de la haute horlogerie. This iteration of the Elite has been customized for the Oursin, with a rotor reshaped in the form of an octagon and bas-relief beads sculpted along the periphery of the mass. The Elite movement, launched around the same time as the historical Oursin in 1994, adds a touch of symmetry and historical significance to these contemporary masterpieces.
