Icon2 Artisans de Geneve - Ventura

i am a fan of artisans de geneve's work - some hits some misses in my eyes but their latest release, the ventura, i would say is daytona perfection . cudos to the designers and the owner for making this piece.

I was out to dinner in Dallas at a fancy sushi restaurant, and the fellow sitting next to me had what I thought was in overly fancy Daytona on. Suspected it was a fake and asked him about it. He brought up that it was from artisans de genevee & it was spectacular. They do great work!

Stunning watch!

And thanks for sharing the website link; it's great to see the high level of custom work that went into this watch.

Well, at least this piece is a real nice Omega RG Broad Arrow homage.

Love what they do, recently liking their works with Rolex a lot, they take something that is ubiquitous, but well made, respectfully create unique expressions😄

Don’t like two tone so not for me, but I acknowledge the incredible detail that went into that watch.

That Ventura is utterly stunning... and it's also set my thinking:

Wonder if a dial could be created replicating the constellation of the night sky on a given date (when viewed from a particular place).

For me I was thinking the night sky above southern England on the night my daughter was born.

Vanta black background and miniscule diamond fragments, perhaps?

I think it looks good. However I'd prefer an untouched original rolex personally.

I'm on their email list so I can tell they do good work but more and more I realize that I actually don't prefer their modifications to the original. Of course the best part is the option to personalize to your own wish.

The Ventura really does stand out as a stunning piece! Artisans de Genève has a unique approach, and it’s great to see them hitting the mark with this release. The design elements they’ve incorporated into the Daytona make it truly exceptional. It’s always impressive when a brand can elevate an iconic watch while maintaining its essence. Kudos indeed to the team behind it!

This is one of the first I've seen done by them that actually doesn't look like complete dogsh*t.
