The latest evolution of the Arena Grande Sonnerie, the Arena Metasonic raises the exclusive work of Gérald Genta to the realm of perfection. Launched as a wristwatch in 1994 and regularly improved ever since, the noble proprietary complication that was already considered beyond compare further enhances its pedigree by appearing in a revolutionary new case. An original material and unprecedented construction combine to ensure an enchanting chime, embodying progress stemming from in-depth acoustic and vibratory research that simultaneously overturns certain preconceived ideas.

Baselworld 2009- Gérald Genta

I did not have a chance to set an appointment with Gérald Genta this year. But I did manage to get a few photographs from outside their cases, at their Baselworld booth. I really like their see-through retrograde displays and beautifully decorated in-house movements.

As always Gérald Genta offers up some of the most interesting material and design combinations in the watchmaking industry. The result is a collection of watches that is both unique and appealing.

GERALD GENTA - The dandies of the Arena collection

Inherently elegant and fiercely independent like the classic 19th century dandies: such are the kind of men liable to adopt one of the latest Arena watches. The sporty Biretro and Chrono Quattro Retro take on an extremely chic appearance in their new red gold attire.

The Gérald Genta Arena QP GMT features a (45 mm x 13.9 mm) titanium case topped with a platinum bezel. The contrast of the brilliant platinum and matte titanium looks really good in person. At first glance, this watch looks a lot like a chronograph, but there are actually four subdials that display the GMT and perpetual calendar functions. These subdials are part of the sophisticated multi-layered dial, that consists of black and silver brass and a perforated red base. If you take a closer look at the perforations in the dial, you will see parts of the exclusive Gérald Genta Potter finished movement. On the back, the Automatic Caliber GG7044 movement and solid gold rotor are visible through the sapphire caseback.

There are two versions available (titanium/platinum) $71,600 and (white gold/platinum) $92,050, a red alligator skin band with folding clasp comes with both versions.

Gerald Genta Tantulum Wristwatch

[ via Gerald Genta ]

This is the Gerald Genta Tantulum. Tantulum is very interesting because it is hypoallergenic, almost as heavy as gold (yet much harder) and is as resistant as glass against corrosion and acids. Tantalum is a very dark metal that gets purplish color over time and feels warm to the touch.
