Gerard Genta had died
From Hodinkee:
"In very sad news for watch fans the world over, legendary designer Gérald Genta has died.
We have received confirmation of his passing from multiple sources and are awaiting further details. For those who don't know, Génta was responsible for a handful of the most iconic watch designs of the 20th century, including Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak, Patek Philippe's Nautilus, IWC's Ingenieur SL, Universal Geneve's Polerouter, Omega's Seamaster Constellation, Bvglari's "Bvlgari Bvlgari" and several more."
Incredible legacy for this man.Thanks, although it could have been posted in others, too...
...given all the work he has given other brands. Mods- Maybe the AP thread can be linked here. This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2011-08-17 14:01:05
very sad news indeed
What a pity. A great man who had contributed more than a lot to watchmaking has passed sadly, may he rip.
A sad loss
He leaves behind a body of work for which he will always be remembered and celebrated.
Condolences to Mr Genta's family, and a salute to his horological world impact.
Condolences,

For the Omega fans...
..we can never forget his famous C case Constellation. Thomas (tdn.dk) posted this beauty in June.
