Gérald Genta

Delve into the lesser-known artistic legacy of Swiss watchmaker Gérald Genta
Aptly named the "Picasso of Timepieces," Gérald Genta (1931-2011) was also a passionate painter, a facet of his life often overshadowed by his watchmaking fame. His figurative works rendered in imaginative color palettes reflect the influences of Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Wassily Kandinsky, Marie Laurencin and Joan Miró.
