Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth president
What is your favourite complication? Definitely the tourbillon. When joining Daniel Roth in 1998 a dream became true. The man who reinvented the Breguet tourbillon as a wristwatch has made the nicest tourbillon in the world. There are a lot today, even some made in China, and this technology is becoming more affordable to some manufacturers. But I believe that brands like Daniel Roth have in their DNA the right to claim to be legitimate.
What is your favourite material in a watch? I do not have a favourite: I do not like steel though. I am glad that today haute horlogerie can be dressed with materials other than gold or platinum.
What do you think is the best innovation this year? The best innovation of the year is definitely the Gefica by Gerald Genta. We dared to invent the concept of the watch that will have a different finish and patina, depending on its owner, because of the use of bronze.
