gérald genta Introduces Gentissima Oursin 41 with Meteorite Dials

NOVEMBER 19 2025    |    Novelties

gérald genta continues its legacy of audacious elegance with the launch of two new references in the Gentissima Oursin collection: Blue Meteorite and Green Meteorite. These timepieces mark a bold evolution of the iconic design first imagined by Mr. Gérald Genta in 1994, inspired by the delicate yet resilient form of the sea urchin.

A Design Born from Nature and the Cosmos
The Gentissima Oursin 41 features a 41mm sandblasted Grade 5 titanium case, meticulously set with 234 white gold beads, echoing the organic geometry of the sea urchin. At its heart lies a dial carved from a fragment of meteorite—a material born from the stars—making each watch a unique, one-of-one creation. The natural crystalline structure of meteorite ensures that no two dials are alike, offering collectors a truly rare expression of artistry.

Sporty-Chic Meets Haute Horlogerie
Combining rubber straps and titanium architecture with luxurious gold accents, the Gentissima Oursin 41 is designed for everyday wearability without compromising sophistication. A curved sapphire crystal, faceted with a subtle octagonal profile, protects the dial and enhances its dynamic character. Gold hands filled with Super-LumiNova featuring a pink hue—a tribute to Mr. Genta’s favorite color—ensure legibility and elegance.

Mechanical Excellence
Inside beats the Zenith Elite GG-005 automatic movement, boasting a 50-hour power reserve, 4 Hz frequency, and an 18K yellow gold oscillating mass, visible through a sapphire caseback. With 50m water resistance and a comfortable rubber strap, this timepiece is as practical as it is artistic.

Celebrating 200 Years of Moritz Grossmann with the TREMBLAGE Gold

The year 2026 marks a momentous milestone for Moritz Grossmann as we celebrate the 200th anniversary of our founder’s birth. Moritz Grossmann was not only a master horologist but a visionary scientist and author who forever changed the landscape of Glashütte watchmaking. To commemorate his bicentenary, we are proud to unveil the TREMBLAGE Gold anniversary edition, a tribute that bridges his 19th-century spirit with the pinnacle of modern artisanal watchmaking.

This exceptional release introduces two limited editions, crafted in 750/000 rose gold and 950 platinum, with each variant strictly limited to just eight pieces worldwide. The soul of these timepieces lies in the solid rose gold dial, which has been meticulously hand-engraved using the rare "tremblage" technique. This traditional method involves a master engraver using a specialized burin to create a multi-directional, finely textured matte surface, resulting in a mesmerizing play of light that serves as a backdrop for the raised, hand-polished numerals.

The movement powering these anniversary models is the exquisitely finished Calibre 100.1 manual-winding movement. In a direct nod to the founder's legacy, the balance cock features a unique hand-engraved "1826," marking the year of Grossmann’s birth. Every component, from the heat-annealed brown-violet screws to the hand-carved pillars and German silver plates, reflects our commitment to "Schönstes deutsches Handwerk"—the finest German craftsmanship.

With the TREMBLAGE Gold edition, we do not simply replicate history; we evolve it. These watches embody the same pursuit of technological perfection and aesthetic brilliance that Moritz Grossmann championed two centuries ago. We invite you to discover these masterpieces, which stand as a testament to a heritage that continues to inspire every movement we create and every hand-finished detail we produce in our Glashütte manufactory.

Greubel Forsey Launches the Nano Foudroyante: A New Chapter in Watchmaking Innovation

Greubel Forsey has officially released the Nano Foudroyante, a groundbreaking timepiece that blends cutting-edge nanomechanics with refined craftsmanship. Limited to just 22 pieces, this watch marks a major milestone for the brand, evolving from its earlier Experimental Watch Technology (EWT) concept into a fully developed and independent creation.

The Nano Foudroyante is crafted entirely in white gold and features a rhodium-finished dial with a blue minute track, blued steel hands, and a white foudroyante dial for enhanced legibility. A blue textured rubber strap completes the look, giving the watch a modern and sporty edge.

What sets this timepiece apart is its use of nanomechanics—a revolutionary approach that allows the foudroyante complication to operate using just 16 nanojoules of energy per jump. That’s 1,800 times less than traditional designs. The complication divides each second into six parts, with a red-treated hand rotating once per second, driven directly by the balance wheel. There’s no traditional gear train, just a series of ultra-efficient, low-inertia wheels.

The Nano Foudroyante also features Greubel Forsey’s first flying tourbillon, with the foudroyante dial always facing twelve o’clock for easy reading. Despite its complexity—428 components in total—the movement fits into a compact 37.90mm case, making it the smallest Greubel Forsey watch ever made.

This release is a bold statement of innovation and intent, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own one of the most advanced mechanical watches ever created..
