2021 Gerald Genta Arena Retrograde Mickey Mouse - Hands-on, Price
Visionary watchmaker and designer Gerald Genta left a legacy of iconic designs. As a pioneer of genre-defining sporty-chic models, Genta revolutionised the concept of the luxury sports watch with the creation of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. But the Genta legacy goes way beyond the luxury sports watches he designed for Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe or IWC. Alongside his collaborations with famous watch brands, Genta founded his company in 1969 to create watches under his own name. Genta was a rule-breaking designer with a fertile imagination. Among his countless creations are Grandes Complications and retrograde display watches with their original way to indicate the time. These included quirky Disney character watches with retrograde indications (he obtained licensing with Disney in the 1980s) For the 2021 edition of Geneva Watch Days, the Mickey watch is back!

H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Tourbillon (Hands-On Pics, Specs & Price)
H. Moser & Cie. unveils its latest take on the flying tourbillon complication housed in a stainless steel Pioneer case ready to battle the elements. This is not Moser's first tourbillon - it has already appeared in the upmarket Endeavour, Venturer and Swiss Alp Watch collections - nor is it the first complication to reach the Pioneer family, which hosts a QP complication. The novelty here is the combination of a one-minute flying tourbillon and its corresponding automatic movement inside the sportier case of the Pioneer. Forming part of Moser's SIHH 2019 novelties, the brand that likes to row against the tide of convention has decided to beat the flurry of pre-SIHH teasers and puts the Pioneer Tourbillon for sale on the market today. Shielded by its beefy 42.8mm steel case that is water-resistant to 120m, this is Moser’s concept of an ATV tourbillon that can take on the challenges of everyday wear and tear – and also the brand’s most accessible tourbi ever.The new

Expect for the evolution of the size (that evolved fr
