The wait is finally over – the much anticipated second iteration of ‘Gérald Genta: Icon of Time’ in Hong Kong is now open for bidding! To celebrate the occasion, here’s an original prototype design made especially for the handover of Hong Kong in 1997. As regular visitors to Hong Kong, Gérald and wife Evelyne were very impressed by the importance of the event of the Handover of Hong Kong. At the time, Genta Mickey Mouse watches were already extremely popular across the region, prompting Gérald to create a special commemoration series of 100 men’s and 100 ladies’ watches with Mickey holding the three flags of the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and China. The series was released in shops in Hong Kong one week before the Handover and sold out completely in just two days. This original design, together with an accompanying NFT, is one of 34 from his personal archives which are open for bidding today until 19 April.
