Fun with a capital F! ;) gerald genta mickey f1 racing LE launch
gerald genta fantasy mickey mouse f1 racing singapore limited edition
this was a fun nite(the 'F' word will continue to appear numerous times through this post... fun that is.. what were u thinking? ;) )... the only downside is that nobody was grooving to the music so it was mostly me catching up with my friends, chatting on horology and gerald genta timepieces interspersed with some fine lookin ladies demanding pictures with us... (or was it the other way around? hmm...) anyways, i digress...
i have always found GG to be a fun brand with the mickey mouse range and those are the pieces in their lineup that call to me most because they're light hearted, don't take themselves too seriously and in a reasonable enuff price range... anyways on to the nite with pictures to tell our salacious tale... i mean fun tail... whatever ;)
the venue was the ultra cool MINI habitat where they sell these iconic cars...
tones of cool brittania ... and very scary staircases in the dark ...

some of the watches downstairs were these cool 8 sided ones... the octo biretro
octo chrono quattro retro
and the octo 48month perpetual calendar moon phase
out of these 3 pieces, i personally like the biretro the best...

ok... it was great catchin up with mates but one of the reasons for my swinging by was that i did come to see these fantasy pieces(again i m not referring to the ones
on 2 legs)... as i was thinking it may be a fun piece to get someday... but the hands
don't have that much contrast to my eye and may make it tough to tell the time...

so i went away thinking about this one as a possible genta choice... its again fun,
easier to tell the time with the white gloves...
and the different clouds/sun designs on the moving dial is a treat too..
