It is said "Behind every great man is a great woman".... Mrs Genta is a true lady. I love that she doesn't shy away from her husbands very humble beginnings, their struggles or regrets. The fact that her husband worked daily is an inspiration to all that greatness doesn't come easy.
Probably could have done with cutting out all the scammy NFT crap at the end though. What a hideous way treat his memory: with a worthless crypto scam.
Great insights. I have a seiko credor pacifique with so many Genta elements it makes one wonder. Thanks for the video..great content always..keep up the good work..
First I thought Mrs. Évelyne Genta was overly talking about the cult of her former husband but after I heard the goal of supporting young designers with her foundation the tides turned for me! I think it's a great goal to bring fresh air into the Swiss watch industry. Because I completely agree that especially the big brands didn't come up with truly disrupting designs during the last decades. Thanks so much for another great interview, WATCHES TV!
Wonderful! Love to hear about self-educated success stories. "If you get a formal education, you can earn a living. If you educate yourself, you can earn a fortune."
@@user-zl2sc3bg3g Yes. The approach should be to use NFT technology to do just that, preservation and information checks. Not the other way around and make BS artwork and launder money with it. I love how she use the latest tech for this auction. It may also pay tribute to how Genta looks forward than backward.
Awesome interview. One of the first watches I ever got was a Polerouter, it was my grandfather's watch. Love it, microrotor, beautiful finishing. Was really excited when I found out it was a Genta design, by then I was into the hobby and looking for an affordable Genta designed watch, not knowing I already had one.
Great interview, only criticism would be it was way too short, maybe an hour long detailed chronological interview of his vast contributions would have been more appropriate, felt a bit rushed, would love to see his artwork, great job 👏
Quel superbe interview, quelle magnifique personne Madame Evelyne Genta est, et quelle éloquence ! Je pourrais l'écouter pendant des heures tellement ses paroles sont intéressantes, et avec une vraie étincelle dans les yeux !
Did Genta design the Hamilton cal.837 models, specifically the octagonal one and the one that looks like the C shaped constellation? Or are those just Hamilton homages??
Once again Marc, thank you for a great interview. This is real reportage and I sincerely hope that future designers will follow in this great man’s footsteps. This actually made me want to design my own timepieces. Do you have any contacts in the industry which would allow me to attempt this please?❤️🙏
Thanks so much and really happy you enjoyed it. Regarding the second part of your comment, this is always quite tricky unfortunately, but ou can always run this through us ;) The very best to you
What an impressive Lady, a magnificent and rare example of actual journalism in a watch space full of sponsered reviews and retail based "reporters" . Bravo Marc, you managed to top the last interview you did! I must say I wish you had asked about the Offshore! A watch I personally loathe and I was hugely encouraged when I heard he hated it too😂
What a beautiful interview with Mrs. Evelyne Genta, a smart and modest women who keeps the legacy of Mr. Gerald Genta alive. Tough so regrets the sale of the company, she’s nod bitter at all. Merci beaucoup Mme. Genta!
Evelyne is definitly the most beautiful woman in Swiss industry…she was very beautiful when she was joung..She aldo made great job! Gerald Genta will live forever!
First of all thank you for this new thread. What an amazing testimonies you are bringing to us! Pure gold!, Madame Genta an authentic Señora and proud of her husband's legacy. THANK YOU !! Saludos!
what a lovely interview with madame genta. gerald was an incredibly talented watchmaker & visionary. so happy to see she’s carrying on his legacy through the foundation & his iconic designs will be on the blockchain as nfts 😊
Would Genta be as well know for his watch designs if Royal Oak and Nautilus have never been created? Where would Patek and AP be today if that would never happen? Thank you for interview Marc!
It was a great interview. I learned he designed many different things besides beautiful watches. Thank you Marc!
Very welcome, glad to share such valuable stories 👌
It is said "Behind every great man is a great woman".... Mrs Genta is a true lady. I love that she doesn't shy away from her husbands very humble beginnings, their struggles or regrets. The fact that her husband worked daily is an inspiration to all that greatness doesn't come easy.
That’s totally exact, things very happen just by chance ;) perseverance is for sure key! Best to you and thanks for your comment
Wow , this was fabulous ! Creativity , beauty , and knowledge we didn't know existed ! Thanks again to you Marc...only you could have created this.
Many many thanks! Am sure others could do it too, but maybe wouldn't have enjoyed as much as we did ;) The very best to you
He did mostly bad, but 10% good, at least for watch design alone, you won't see any negatives for these Icons of the Industry.
Absolutely fabulous and pure class, money 💰 can’t buy that ,your born that way.
Very nicely said, but totally agree, pure elegance!
Legend ever . Greatness.
Legend it is!!!

Ah nice to share this with us, thanks and the very best to you.
Do some of these designs have the potential of being made a reality? Would be an intriguing thought!!
Going to be a great interview!
I really hope you enjoyed it!

thanks for this video i am enjoying watching it
Great, makes us happy!
Brilliant. A real insight into a great man. Thanks to all involved. Now if anyone can explain NFT’s to me I’d be very grateful 😂
Actually this should be the video we will produce tomorrow 😂😂 appropriate timing
Wonderful! Love to hear about self-educated success stories. "If you get a formal education, you can earn a living. If you educate yourself, you can earn a fortune."
Very nice sentence, really like it!! Thanks for sharing
Great. Thank you very much!
Great concept to combine blockchain technology of modern time to seal his artwork and information in time forever. Good job!
Agreed, for once it makes real sense and no marketing BS...

Hahaha, totally get you on this as the same happened to me!!!! 😉
Thanks, I gained some knowledge from that. Didn't know he was that diverse.
A very nice lady with stunningly beautiful looks.
Very happy to have been able to bring this to you, thanks a lot for watching and for the comment
Great interview, only criticism would be it was way too short, maybe an hour long detailed chronological interview of his vast contributions would have been more appropriate, felt a bit rushed, would love to see his artwork, great job 👏
Thanks and could have indeed been longer, but the good compromise so far ;) The very best to you

C’est très joliment dit et merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire 🙏
You can tell Genta only existed because of his biggest supporter- his wife.
That's nicely said! The very best to you
Nice operator work. I like "Royal oak" book behind this beutiful lady. :)
That was the one made the 40th anniversary ;) The best to you
Amazing interview! Gérald Genta was truly a genius and one we all admire in the watch community.
Yesterday, today and for years to come for sure!! Thanks and the best to you
My first real watch was GG Retro Solo carbon fiber dial auto ss case. Still my favorite 15 yrs on. She a lovely lady.
Nice to share this with us 👍
Mr Genta got a very clever wife indeed. Hers vision and knowledge wide and deep in considering creation of NFT for his husband designs.
Yes and it all makes sense! Thanks
VIVA Watchmaking.
That's right, couldn't agree more!!!

True, i could have asked ;) but didn’t really want to go there. Thanks a lot for your comment, always highly appreciated 🙏

Once more a very helpfull full of good content interview which widens the horizon and knowledge of many watch lover. This is fantastic. Thank you.
Thanks for such a great interview! It is always authentic/real watch journalism. Mr. Genta always looking forward! Veri impressive!
Thanks so much for this comment, really appreciated!
So he can't look back and see what a boorish mistake he made with the RO design, and it's not sports watch and never was.
He did mostly bad, but 10% good, at least for watch design alone, you won't see any negatives for these Icons of the Industry.
I can't wait for New York! I must I must!
Soon soon
A great interview. I did not know he had designed for so many watch companies. What a lovely enthusiastic lady Mrs Evelyne Genta is
Thank you. Have enjoyed the education. Ms. Genta is a very gracious lady.
Wonderful lady, and a wonderful interview. This was a pleasure to watch.
It there a book of all Gerald Genta's designs?
Great great interview, thank you so much! This is a fine woman, respect to her!
please release some of his designs in a coffee table book!
Would Genta be as well know for his watch designs if Royal Oak and Nautilus have never been created? Where would Patek and AP be today if that would never happen?
Thank you for interview Marc!
Thanks and those watches definitely marked history and the brands that managed to make them live!
Good question that I'm sure we can discuss endlessly..
Thank for your this video. I wait for next video. Sir
This is great content. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks
really imformative, tks
Most welcome
Amazing Marc, one of the best interviews I seen. Congrats for this kind of stories
Ah that’s very nice to hear, thanks so much
Amazing to see thanks!
Very happy you enjoyed it, many thanks
Cool, may we see Gerald in heaven.
God bless.
Ms. Genta is the epitomy of the saying that behind every great man there's a great woman.
Nicely said
Epitome**
Grande Gerald! Un grande ItaloSvizzero! :)
thank you for doing this!
Bello, bello e belloooo! 👏
Grazie tanto!!!
❤Gerald genta ❤
Extra ! Bravo et merci
Un plaisir
thank you.
Absolutely fascinating. Great interview
Thanks a lot
A noble woman 👌
Great interview,next best thing to have author himself. It took me some time realize that she speaks English, firstly I turned on the caption.
Hahaha and she definitely speaks a perfect english
I thought the same. Very good expressions, but stayed true to the french pronunciation of Polerouter and Constellation. Very classy - she has style.
need more b-roll of watches, not watching this!
Well we weren't there in those days, but we did our best ;)
❤❤❤
Très chanceux d’avoir rencontrer sa femme qui rend hommage à cet artiste désigner et mari. Un vrai artisan
Merci Marc de faire partager 😘
Overrated designer. He hated watches actually! And similar style, yawn, boring. Sorry watchworld.
Gerald was a genius, without his concept and talent! The mechanical Watch, would be nonexistent! The legend and icon of timekeeping!
Golden calf. Highly overrated watch maker. His designs are dated.
The only thing "dated" about my nautilus are the scratches on the bracelet.
Edit: because I wear it every day
That indeed summarises it pretty well and obviously same can be said about the RO ;) Best to both of you
