Golden Obsidian for Gérald Genta’s Minute Repeater
Gérald Genta has introduced a new version of its Minute Repeater watch featuring a unique Golden Obsidian dial. The volcanic glass dial offers a distinct aesthetic compared to the previous onyx model, while maintaining the brand's signature cushion case design.
Why it matters
This release highlights the luxury watch industry's focus on artisanal materials and incremental design updates to maintain collector interest.
One of the most striking watches to debut at Geneva Watch Days is a new variant of Gérald Genta's Minute Repeater featuring a dial made of Golden Obsidian.
