Horizon 2030 maintains the limited production, while increasing the complications' complexity

Known for its iconic, bold designs and meticulous attention to detail, the brand’s vision consists of keeping the annual quantity limited, while guaranteeing the highest quality, high-level complications and craftsmanship. The strategy is to develop new complications with proprietary calibres, which perfectly blend design and technology, leveraging the archives of Mr Genta. Our aim is to maintain our limited production, yet to deliver value to collectors with ‘artworks’ for the wrist, which are artisanal, mechanically technical yet aesthetically perfect.

To honour its legacy of exceptional artistry and precision, the Maison is ready to unveil a few secret gems from Mr. Genta’s archive, unexpectedly offering a deep dive into the secret and amazing world of its founder.

Here's to the past, present, and the future — and to many more years of watchmaking excellence.
