After captivating collectors with its exquisite use of natural materials in 2024, the G\u00e9rald Genta Gentissima Oursin collection now enters a new chapter. The Maison unveils two striking 41mm additions, each featuring a vivid meteorite dial in blue or green \u2014 a contemporary, more assertive expression of the iconic Oursin form. Designed and assembled entirely in-house by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, these new references raise the collection\u2019s aesthetic ambition while retaining the spirit of audacious elegance that defines the Gentissima line.<\/p>\n
A Larger Canvas for Bolder Creativity<\/strong> This expressive case houses the collection\u2019s first-ever meteorite dials. Each slice, cut thin from a rare extraterrestrial fragment, reveals a natural crystalline structure that ensures every piece is inherently one-of-one.<\/p>\n Offered in deep blue or rich green, the dial\u2019s hue shifts with light and angle, delivering an organic dynamism while keeping time legible through Super-LumiNova markers and gold hands tinted with a soft pink glow \u2014 an homage to Genta\u2019s favourite colour.<\/p>\n Sporty-Chic Utility with Artistic Poise<\/strong> \u201cThis is a sporty-chic watch,\u201d explains Matthieu Hegi, Artistic Director at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. \u201cThe sporty aspect is linked to the rubber and titanium, and the chic aspect is linked to the gold accents. It is for the elegant collector who loves design and beautiful things \u2014 someone who desires a watch that is different from what is found on the market and is highly identifiable.\u201d<\/p>\n A Vision Born from the Sea<\/strong> That creative spark \u2014 the merging of nature\u2019s geometry with Genta\u2019s playful imagination \u2014 continues to shape the modern Gentissima line. In its latest form, the Oursin speaks not just from the sea, but from the stars.<\/p>\n Fine Watchmaking at its Core<\/strong> A polished white gold crown set with a cabochon completes the case, reinforcing the refined yet unconventional character of the watch.<\/p>\n A Statement of Taste, Ingenuity and Emotion<\/strong> It is designed for those who see art not as ornament, but as an essential presence \u2014 a companion to be worn, appreciated and lived with.<\/p>\n The G\u00e9rald Genta Gentissima Oursin 41 retails for SGD 44,000 with tax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After captivating collectors with its exquisite use of natural materials in 2024, the G\u00e9rald Genta Gentissima Oursin collection now enters a new chapter.

\nThe new Gentissima Oursin 41 joins the existing six 36.5mm models, expanding the family for those who prefer a stronger wrist presence. Crafted from sandblasted Grade 5 titanium, the round case appears simple at first sight \u2014 yet a closer look reveals a discreet octagonal inner profile, a subtle nod to G\u00e9rald Genta\u2019s architectural instincts. Surrounding the titanium shell are precisely set white gold beads, 234 in total, forming a tactile, sculptural interplay of shapes and surfaces.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/gerald-genta-gentissima-oursin-41-blue-eeeh01a1-scaled.png-190x300.webp\")

<\/p>\n
\nMore than a design object, the Gentissima Oursin 41 balances artistry with practicality. Its lightweight titanium construction, rubber strap and 50m water resistance make it suitable for everyday wear, even for collectors with active lifestyles. A specially developed sapphire crystal, curved externally and faceted into an octagonal shape inside, enhances the dial\u2019s depth while reinforcing the watch\u2019s signature geometry.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/06_BLUE_3_4_B_Social_Media_Crop_1080x1920_RVB_-300x169.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThe Oursin\u2019s origins trace back to a quiet moment in 1994, when Mr G\u00e9rald Genta discovered a sea urchin while strolling the Corsican shore. Its harmonious balance of fragility and strength inspired him to create a timepiece that mirrored its unique form: rounded, convex, and studded with protective beads. The Oursin later became a favourite of Mrs Evelyne Genta and was reintroduced in 2023 when the Maison relaunched with the support of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/02_GREEN_3_3_4_D_Social_Media_Crop_1080x1920_RVB_-300x169.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
\nBeneath the sculptural exterior lies robust mechanical precision. The 9.84mm-thick case opens to a sapphire display back, revealing the Zenith Elite GG-005 automatic movement. This calibre offers a 50-hour power reserve, a 4 Hz frequency and an 18K yellow gold winding mass \u2014 a mechanical pairing that complements the Oursin\u2019s contemporary elegance.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/07_BLUE_2_BACK_B_Social_Media_Crop_1080x1920_RVB_-300x169.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThe Gentissima Oursin 41 stands at the intersection of sculpture and horology. With its interplay of circular and octagonal geometry, its constellation of white gold beads and its cosmic meteorite dial, the timepiece speaks to collectors who value individuality and emotional resonance as much as mechanical mastery.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/10_GREEN_4_CLOSE_UP_B_Social_Media_Crop_1080x1920_RVB_JPEG_72DPI-300x169.jpeg\")
