A visit at the Genta Shop in Paris

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 :







A few close-up :





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.
