Our Thoughts:
Gerald Genta. One of the earliest works from Gerald Genta, the watch was design for the Scandinavian Airline System (SAS). Rich in history, it is not as talked about as it should be but remains a significant piece of the puzzle that inspired Gerald Genta to creating all the other iconic pieces for other brands.
