  • Catalogue Essay

    The legendary Gérald Genta recognized the power of pop culture long before it was mainstream. Under his eponymous brand, he tapped into his playful side with Disney character watches that became instant sensations since the 1980s.

    Limited to just 150 pieces, this 41mm diameter stainless steel Arena Sport Retro features a vivid dial portraying Mickey as a sailor at sea. Inside, a bi-retrograde movement energizes the scene. In addition to Mickey’s minute hands, a window displaying different weather conditions such as sunshine, cloud and thunder changes with each hour.

    Playfully striking yet mechanically complex, this limited edition seamlessly merges youthful charm with horological prowess. For the collector able to appreciate the magic in childlike wonder, this Gérald Genta Arena Sport Retro represents a prized opportunity to acquire a timepiece that would be a delight to wear on the wrist.
