Legendary watch designer Gerald Genta returns for Bulgari's latest bi-retrograde timepiece

The Gerald Genta Arena Bi-Retrograde Sport isn't like what you're used to from him, but it's still representative of his revolutionary spirit through and through If it looks kind of familiar, it's because it's a follow-up to the Gérald Genta 50th Anniversary Arena Bi-Retro last year to celebrate half a century of his eponymous brand When Bulgari acquired Gérald Genta in 2000, the idea was to integrate his expertise, soul, and most importantly, skilled watchmakers into its high watchmaking projects.

Like its predecessor, this new release uses the famous chunky, round Arena case, named so for its resemblance to the grand arenas of ancient Rome The 43mm brushed titanium case sets a retro-futuristic tone for everything that's on the dial: A jumping hour window at 12 o'clock, a retrograde minute track spanning the top half of the black anthracite dial, and a retrograde date track below Genta takes this aesthetic up a notch with skeleton hands, the use of more modern Sans Serif fonts and a reimagined logo.

The new Gerald Genta Arena Bi-Retrograde Sport will be sold mainly online in December for €15,000. . Source
