Wei Koh sits down with Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini during Geneva Watch Days 2026 to discuss the Gérald Genta Geneva Minute Repeater Golden Obsidian.

The new watch follows the earlier Black Onyx model, bringing a warmer expression to the Geneva Minute Repeater line through a yellow gold case and golden obsidian dial.

The conversation looks at the manually wound Caliber GG-002, developed by Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, and the work required to create a minute repeater with clear, crystalline sound.

From case construction and thin case walls to hammers, gongs, rhythm and resonance, Wei, Michel and Enrico explore what gives a minute repeater its voice, and why sound in watchmaking is judged as much by emotion as by mechanics.
