Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio.  This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology.  In this episode (recorded in June 2022), hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Adam (@mediumwatch) sit down for a chat with two very special guests - Mme Evelyne Genta and Alexia Genta (@gerald.genta.heritage).  The topic of our conversation is the unique creative genius of Gerald Genta and his immeasurable contributions to the horological industry and watch design. Join us as for a wide-ranging conversation about Gerald Genta’s difficult early life; career challenges and successes; his inspirations and thoughts on watch design; artistic impression and love of horological complications. We also discuss some of Mr Genta’s most famous designs (eg. Patek Philippe Nautilus, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, etc), but also some of his lesser celebrated (more equally revolutionary models like the Gefica amongst others).  Made sure to check out the the Gerald Genta Heritage Association @gerald.genta.heritage and www.geraldgenta-heritage.com (as well as Alexia's other venture Geraldine London @geraldinelondon_).
