I think it’s a beautiful piece.
Nice size and thinness. I think the lugs work for the shape of the case. As far as the repeater goes the lower hour tone sounds really nice, but the higher tone sounds a little tinny. As has been said I’m sure it has to be heard live to really evaluate. Thanks for the report and video.
Gérald Genta Geneva Minute Repeater
The Gérald Genta Geneva Minute Repeater features the brand's second caliber since the relaunch under the helm of LVMH and La Fabrique du Temps . The Yellow gold 3N case measures 40 mm and the dial is made of black onyx with yellow gold 3N applied indexes....
I love it!
I would say my favourite Genta of all time actually. But quite unaffordable unfortunately. The simplicty of the dial, the beautiful lugs that make 40mm wearable and the superbly finished movement ticks all the boxes.
The manual wind ones, yes. But, unfortunately, Patek has been doing a lot of self winding minute repeaters.
I personally prefer hand-wound. Best, Emmanuel
I like it. Very much. But alas, I would never be able to afford it.
So, I'll be just an admirer from afar.
Yes, richness doesn't seem to be remarkable, at least on the video.
It's still a nice move from Barbasini and Navas, imo. They really know how to make beautiful calibers and timepieces. Best, Emmanuel
Can they even be called "lugs", I wonder.
But I personally don't dislike this way of fixing the strap as it preserves the roundness of the case. Best, Emmanuel

I agree with you on all points.
I would love to see one in real life but I doubt if it will ever happen. Best, Emmanuel
I personally like the work of Barbasini and Navas, so I prefer this movement design.
I'm not fond of t 1990’s Gerald Genta “Success” QP Minute Repeater Skeleton (credit: Lunar Oyster) he self winding MR movement found on some 1990s GG... Best, Emmanuel ...
I don’t like it at all
Imo, the Daniel Roth ressurection and this just feel like LVMH trying to jump on the independent bang wagon after many years of neglecting IP they owned.
Interesting point of view, even if I don't share it.
I personally like the work of Barbasini and Navas and I think they've done a nice job with Daniel Roth and this piece. But it's just my feeling of course. Best, Emmanuel
I like all…
Apart from the single lugs. I understand the purpose but with my proclivity to changing straps this would be a hindrance. But I am currently not in the market 🤷🏻♂️😊
Neither am I !
As for the pleasure of changing straps, I fully understand why those lugs would be a problem... Wishing you a nice weekend ahead! Best, Emmanuel
