A visit at the Genta Shop in Paris
By: foversta (registered) Sunday, April 27th, 2008 - Photo Nav: View All 20 photo(s)Yesterday, I had the
big pleasure to visit the Genta Shop in Paris.
I was perfectly welcomed by Caroline and Laure, as always !
I took the opportunity to shoot several Arena watches.
Here is the Arena Tourbillon QP Moonphases :
The Tourbillon is not visible due to the fact that the dial is already very
busy ! Very busy but very clear. My only regret is that the date system should
have been easier.
The platinum case has a 41mm diameter and a palladium bezel.
The finishings are great :
I really love the caliber. It seems to be deep thanks to the tourbillon :

Then I saw two different models of the Arena Chrono Quattro Retro :
This one with a PG case :
It features a tantalum bezel and a 45mm diameter.
Even if I prefer the Octo Chronograph, the pushers are well integrated in the
overall design of the watch. Sadly, the graduation of the second hand is cut at
6 o'clock (as you already know it, when you reset it, the zero position is at 6
o'clock).
The caliber has, if I remember well, a Piguet base while all the jumping hour
and retrograde minutes systems are in-house :
The Titanium version :

Last watch, the Arena Sport Biretro with a Titanium case (45mm diameter) :
The caliber with a GP3100 base :

Again, a big thank you to Caroline and Laure for their warm welcome (a big
thank to Laurent too of course !). It's always a pleasure to visit the shop and
to see the novelties.
