  • Catalogue Essay

    - In the 1980s, Genta won the rights to produce timepieces to celebrate Walt Disney as well as whimsical cartoon characters from the famed Mickey Mouse. Since then, the firm has created timepieces featuring these iconic cartoon characters from the Disney empire.

    - Part of the sought-after Retro Fantasy series, the present timepiece features the rarely seen Donald Duck dressed for a game of baseball. An instant classic encompassing the whimsical duck swinging a bat articulated as the indication of its retrograde style minutes. An aperture at the 6 o’clock position features a jumping hour sums up the style of the Genta Retro.

    - With a clean mother-of-pearl dial, the appeal is simply vibrant and playful. A delight to view as Donald Duck swings his bat across the retrograde minute track while he hits for a home run.

    - Preserved in excellent overall condition with minimal signs of use and wear, the present timepiece is a must-have for collectors who already have the Mickey Mouse variant looking for his friends to complete the collection.
