Over recent years, the legendary Gérald Genta has become a household name in the watchmaking industry, etching his mark in horology for his exceptional design capabilities. His fame can largely be accredited to the perseverance of his wife, Evelyne, and daughter, Alexia, who founded the Gerald Genta Heritage Association, upholding his illustrious legacy.
Gérald Genta, often referred to as the ‘Picasso of Watches’, was revered for his craftsmanship and innovative designs. Perhaps one of Genta’s most unexpected achievements was the resurrection of the Credor Locomotive watch. Even though it has Japanese origins and a daring design, the intrigue that surrounds this watch primarily lies in the tale of its conception.
Time+Tide, recognised within watch aficionado’s circles as the ‘home of watch culture’, is turning a new leaf in its growth journey. Andrew McUtchen, the man behind Time+Tide’s successful expansion, proudly announced the launching of their latest Watch Discovery Studio in New York City in the fall of 2023.
Since its inception in 2014 as a humble watch magazine in Australia, Time+Tide has expanded its horizons substantially. After McUtchen spotted a unique niche in the Australian market, he surged ahead, establishing the brand as a preeminent watch website. The journey began with opening their first Watch Discovery Studio in Melbourne in 2023, followed by moving to the UK in 2024, launching a second studio and making a sizeable mark in the global watch industry. And now they’re all set to conquer the Big Apple with yet another studio.
