Genta history
By: AndrewD : August 7th, 2009-18:43
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...
Not VC
By: Tick Talk : August 7th, 2009-20:20
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.
Here is a more detailed discussion …
