Octo Place Star is a part of jeweler brilliantly daring, combining forms, colors and matters with the spirit of avant-garde which characterizes the mark. The avenues leave in escape the counter the jumping hour, placed at 11 a.m. expressly for this model. They alternate the diamond decorations crimped (199 on the whole) and covered with enamel which is prolonged until on the glasses.

      Construction brings back for us formerly to Paris, time when the streets were paved. With the mauve, particularly unexpected color, creation takes care of a strange solemnity.

      Prototype of modernity that Gerald Genta introduced in clock industry, the Octo case – for octagonal – always makes profitable his chance to have been born under the sign from the 8 amulets in China. Its design celebrates the architecture which puts the function at the service of esthetics, the time of the geometrical forms, stripped surfaces and the apparent frameworks. On this solar model, brought back nails come to reinforce the functional character of the glasses.

      Octo Tourbillon Sunray celebrates the return of the yellow gold Gerald Genta. Its case radiates glare of a breadth brilliantly polished. Zenith, the watch sun throws the glance boring of its Eye of Falcon, crimped in the heart of the beaded crown. Beautiful emblem for Gerald Genta whom this stone which symbolizes the broadmindedness to the new ideas.

       On the dial, composed of two superimposed gold plates, one observes an unexpected eclipse of the sun. Above the black enameller bottom on which the railroad of the minutes appears, takes shape a star into clearly-obscure, ingeniously partitioned. The light of the yellow gold spouts out of the shade of the black lacquer on four engraved triangles in-depth, the figures in relief of the retrograde hours and on the needles of dauphine form.

The swirl, revealed through an octagonal opening to 6 a.m., is made conspicuous by a sapphire bridge which gives him the air to be of flying type. A treatment anti-UV delays the drying of oils and, so the longevity of the mythical mechanism prolongs.
At Gerald Genta, the swirl is a controlled specialty of long date. It was among the first marks to produce an automatic model in 1990.

      That which animates Octo Tourbillon Sunray includes/understands one hour retrogresses perfectly integrated and has a great reserve of 64 hours walk. It is moreover remarkable by the smoothness of its construction (5,9 mm thickness). The movement, developed and manufactured with Manufacture, grows rich by completions hand characteristics of the high clock industry like the pelage, the anlagen, polishing, the hoping or the drawing of the sides.
Last word, it is coated with old gold to the manner Gerald Genta, a signature known as “finished Potter” that the mark created with the image of the color of the old movements.

      Octo Tourbillon in yellow gold is presented on a bracelet in crocodile folded of a major black. One will be able to prefer the pink gold version or it to him tri-composite with breadth of platinum, tantalum glasses and nails brought back in white gold. The latter enviable through a dial in white gold enameled of black and red, supplied with a very red bracelet.
