Gerald Genta Gefica Kilimanjaro Watch

Does this watch remind you of the snow capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa? Me neither, but that is its intended purpose. Forgive the lack of obvious association with its namesake and appreciate what is so nice about this Gerald Genta Gefica Kilimanjaro watch. The Gefica watch line has been around for a while and here is made in bronze - a metal that isn't often used for watches (case is 46.5mm wide at its largest point). There is also titanium in the construction (all the little beads are titanium). The bronze metal will slowly adopt a different color over time.

Complications include a retrograde minutes scale and date, with a jumping hour window and traditional seconds hand (in red). I love the art deco numbers all over the face that remind of me several conga line-esque dancing groups. The whole dial has a lively "movement" to it that is warm to look at. Gerald Genta is also a master of the bulbous hands that look like geometric circle stencils. Perhaps that was originally part of the influence behind their design. The Kilimanjaro edition Gefica watch will be part of a limited edition of just 100 and looks stunning in which - as part of the new white watch trend.
