Gerald Genta's Geneva Time Only is a wristwatch introduced at LVMH Watch Week 2026 in Milan that updates a cushion-shaped design for contemporary everyday wear. The watch is offered in two variants: Geneva Time Only Marrone with a rose gold 4N case paired with a warm brown gradient grained brass dial and brown calfskin strap, and Geneva Time Only Grafite with a white gold case, silver-shaded grained brass dial, and grey calfskin strap.
Both versions measure 38 millimetres in diameter with a thickness of approximately 8.15 millimetres, and each features a distinctive two-segment minute track where the outer segment follows the cushion case outline while the inner segment remains circular. The design references Gérald Genta’s historic geometry while presenting a refined silhouette suited for modern wear.
Driving both models is the automatic GG-005P calibre based on Zenith’s Elite movement, featuring a redesigned oscillating mass and a power reserve of around 50 hours. The watches display only hours and minutes to maintain a clean, minimalist dial aesthetic.
