You Have Never Seen A Watch Like This! Genus Watch
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is what watch dreams are made of! Founded in 2019 by the mastermind Sébastien Billières and Catherine Henry, Genus couldn't have had a more successful first year. Winning the GPHG for Mechanical Exception prize in 2019 proved just how unique this watch is. For being a time-only watch it features 418 components with a unique time telling which reminds me of the Harry Winston Opus era. I really enjoyed handling the watch and exploring all the details about it and I hope you will enjoy the video too!

Thank you for watching Bruno!
I had the fortune to see this in person. It is absolutely stunning. Like you said, it truly is what watch dreams are made of. On the wrist, it wears so comfortably and it's very light considering how many components there are. At first you think that it's just a work of art that you'll admire through a glass window. But when you wear it, you really don't want to take it off. It's made of titanium so it's not unrealistic to wear daily. If I heard correctly, Sebastian is only able to produce around 15-20 watches a year currently. There are a few other iterations as well using diamonds and saphires in place of the diamond shaped markers.
Holy mother of grail. Rose gold version is stellar. I am left speechless...

The brand and the watchmaker himself is impressive, but I'm wondering whether they'll expand their collection, or only same movement just design/model variation like HYT after their first CEO left (don't get me wrong, their watches are cool, especially the first 3. Then the founder/CEO left and they gotten rather dull in term of complication imho). I hope the best for them.
