Well, It is Sir Gentra who is no doubt in designed the first high end steel sport watch Royal Oak Jumbo in the 70s. But i think posting a old series Royal Oak watch would then be a really true tribute. The one posted is a modern Royal Oak, it may looks th...
Interestingly Gerald Genta, the man, was involved with a number of iconic designs in the 1970’s, some of which, like the Royal Oak , are clearly credited and others where the links are more obscure. These include the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the Bulgari-B...
Just doing my bit to kill that myth...Genta DID NOT design the Vacheron 222 sports watch. Credit goes to a young Jorg Hysek according to VC themselves.
I just came across this more detailed discussion on Mr Genta’s contributions which you may find interesting. Unfortunately some of the photobucket links have been lost Click here to be magically transported . A

This plain 40-year-old Longines just seems to do its job (i.e. tell the time) in a simple, no fuss manner. It has been sharing wrist time with a Constellation this week. Have a good weekend everyone. Andrew...
Thanks Sam, you have great taste and some very elegant timepieces and I appreciate your comment Keep posting those wonderful watches. Andrew Ps. good to see Bobby as your avatar.
Thanks for noticing. They are Hamilton ladies watch movements from the 1950’s. The one on my left wrist is a Cal. 757 and on my right a Cal. 761. Both 22 jewels. Only a WIS would notice, but the Cal. 757 is slightly better finished and has a screwed...
An understated eyecatcher, for sure! (Even if the term sounds like a contradiction) The shading of the dial is a real pleasure to look at in the pictures, and I can only imagine how it must look in person. Thanks for sharing, Nico! Have a great weekend! A...
Lovely choice, Nicolas. This is the kind of watch that stands outside the boundaries of fashion, but is instead timelessly stylish and straightforward. Cheers, Daos
I had a chance to see Nicolas' example a couple of months back and I fell in love with the charm and utilitarian looks of the 1655. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend, Alex
Kobold & Chronoswiss=U.S.S. Pittsburgh Chronograph on a hornback strap! Simply love this collaboration and the strap combo! Sorry for the bad quality pic...a wristshot!!! A closeup! HAGWE, all purists!!!...
i'd like to buy a JLC Master reveil or polaris one day, but cant afford one now. however, i do want an alarm watch that can be used in most situations. i was lucky enough to pick this up recently. it will tide(deliberate pun) me over as it sounds as good ...

Ever since I won a copy of the Vulcain anniversary book I have been stalking a particular model. When the time is right I hope to read your review of the Revue-era version. Thoughts are with you and the family right now - I assumed that things were at six...
the name might be the same but the movement is different. very long technical and legal explainaton. its a good watch for the few pennies it cost me and i will review it at some stage. i did reply to your email so will send it again. best Graham
