The Gerald Genta Heritage Association is Born
This month, Genta’s widow Evelyn has established the Gerald Genta Heritage Association. Tasked with paying tribute to Gerald Genta and encouraging and rewarding young talents in the watch world, the Association is chaired by Mrs. Genta, who worked with her husband for almost 20 years as Commercial Managing Director of their joint business.
“The mission of the association is to raise awareness about what my husband did and his contribution to the watch industry, and to support young talent,” says Mrs. Genta in an exclusive interview with Revolution.Watch. “Gerald thought there was not enough design in the watch world. The idea is to see what young designers are doing and support them. We will have events, exhibitions, awards and a lot of activities.”
Genta’s legacy lives on in products like Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak, the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the Bulgari Bulgari, the IWC Ingenieur and the Omega Constellation.
