Some watches tell time. This one tells a story that begins in 17th-century Rome.
When Gerald Genta (the designer behind the Royal Oak and the Nautilus) created his final collection in 2000, he didn’t draw inspiration from another watch. He drew it from architecture. Specifically, the sculpted, flowing facades of the Baroque master Francesco Borromini.
Look closely at the Maestro and you’ll see it: the asymmetric octagonal case, the chamfered edges, and at 6 o’clock, the gentle concave “smile” … a direct translation of Borromini’s curved church facades onto the wrist.
Independent. Geneva-made. Fewer than 2,000 pieces leave the atelier each year. A handful reach the Caribbean.
They live at one address.
