Gerald Genta Retro Fantasy

Understatement, the fine art of discretion, expresses itself in many variations..

This had been my grail for a long time and it took 6 years before I finally had one.. From the genius mind of Gerald Charles Genta, the greatest watch designer of all time.. Based from what I read, these were created based on a request from Sultan of Brunei.. Genta himself hesitated to put a Disney characters on a luxury watch, as he thought no self respecting adult would want to wear it.. But the Sultan insisted, and so the line of Retro Fantasy was created with Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie on the dial face..

As it happened, Donald Duck was my favorit Disney character so it was a dream came true when I first got my hands on this watch..
