For an artist to be groundbreaking, he first needs to perfectly master the traditional techniques of his art. Gérald Genta designed at least one watch every day of his life. This design shows his extreme attention to detail as well as his deep respect of watchmaking prior to his time. His goal was invariably the same, producing the most beautiful watches that would be both groundbreaking, yet timeless. Such work was only possible through immense studying and meticulous understanding in regard to every component of a watch. Genta was able to reach the limit of what had been done before and go further.
