A true artist
It's always sad when someone important leaves us, but what an amazing contribution over his 80 years. Both a watchmaker and designer. In fact a true artist. And that will live on, just as we remember the other great watchmakers of history. I will be wearing my Constellation for the next few days, and I know we have many owners of Nautilus, RO, Bulgari Bulgari and of course Gerald Genta pieces amongst us. We should do a special Friday WristScan as well.
Sadly missed, but fondly remembered.
