Matthieu Hegi, the artistic director of Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, revisits Gerald Genta's unique Oursin wristwatch, originally designed in 1994. Inspired by Evelyne Genta’s personalized piece, Hegi aims to weave Genta's legacy into contemporary luxury watchmaking. LVMH's acquisition of the Gerald Genta brand led to three reimagined versions of the Oursin, culminating in the exquisite Oursin Fire Opal. This limited edition showcases the intricacy of its design, adorned with fire opals, representing a creative bridge from the past to a modern luxury ethos.
Matthieu Hegi was captivated by Evelyne Genta's Oursin watch, a unique design by Gerald Genta. It inspired him to reimagine the collection for LVMH.
The Oursin watch design reflects Gerald Genta's experiences and inspirations from family vacations in Corsica, drawing a connection from past to present for its revival.
The limited edition Oursin Fire Opal features an eye-catching design with 137 Mexican fire opals, beautifully crafted and is linked to Genta's signature style.
Mr. Hegi sought to connect the Gerald Genta legacy with modern luxury watchmaking, citing the unique visuals of the Oursin watch as inspiration.
