gérald genta’s Gentissima Oursin Marries Sky and Sea in Two New Editions

Summary

• The gérald genta Gentissima Oursin collection introduces two new 41mm models
• The watches feature meteorite dials, coming in blue and green colorways
• The spiked convex cases blend avant-garde geometry with modern rubber straps

The gérald genta Gentissima Oursin collection has welcomed two new timepieces in a 41mm case size, both adorned with cosmic dials: Green Meteorite and the Blue Meteorite.

First introduced in the 1990s, the Oursin – French for “sea urchin” – was conceived by Gérald Genta as a watch that embodied both natural geometry and avant-garde creativity. Revived under LVMH’s stewardship of the brand, the Gentissima Oursin Collection continues this legacy with striking convex cases adorned by spiked motifs that echo the marine creature’s form. The latest references expand the collection with larger 41mm titanium cases, offering a more contemporary presence on the wrist while retaining the playful yet architectural spirit of the original design.

The meteorite dials are framed by the Oursin’s distinctive spiked case, creating a dynamic interplay of texture, light, and shadow. Enhanced water resistance and the introduction of rubber straps further modernize the design, ensuring versatility for today’s collectors while preserving the eccentric charm that made the Oursin a cult favorite.

At its core, the Gentissima Oursin Collection reflects Gérald Genta’s philosophy of transforming unconventional inspirations into horological art. By merging natural motifs with technical precision, the watches embody both heritage and innovation.
The two new references from the Gentissima Oursin collection each retails at 25,000 CHF (approx. $30,992 USD). Visit the Maison’s official website for more details regarding its availability.
