Eclectic Sunday: The Gerald Genta Octo Maserati. T Eclectic Sunday: The Gerald Genta Octo Maserati. The Octo series was the last fundamental watch design created before the brand was fully integrated into Bulgari. Later further refined in the Octa Finissimo range, the case shows an abundance of layers and surface arranged in 90 and 45° angels offering a tremendously rich visual density. The Octo Maserati was an unusual bi-retrograde chronograph combined with a retrograde minute/jumping hours time display and a retrograde date. There was very little that points towards the partnership with the legendary car manufacturer on the face (it was only the strap with carried the leather and the stitching pattern of the car’s upholstery) - a subtlety we miss often these days. #geraldgenta #bulgari #octomaserati #maserati #bulgariocto #chronograph #retrograde #fineleather #eclecticsunday #watchesandcars #watchdaily #watchesofinstagram

“Watches (objects) that made an impression that “Watches (objects) that made an impression that seems to last …” URWERK ´UR-CC1` This architectural object for the wrist, inspired by an avantgarde piece called ´Cobra` from Louis Cottier (1894-1966), happens to show the time as well. Still, readability of time is a strength on this one. ´Digital and linear seconds`, ´Linear retrograde minutes` and ´Linear jumping hours` are kind of logic once you got it. On top it feels excellent on the wrist and works perfect as a conversation piece, without being flashy at all. #urwerk #urcc1 #theeclecticum #independentwatchmaking #uhren #wotd #watchcollector #collectorsview #beeclectic
