Time, like a precious gem, is eternal — shaped by light, movement, and precision. The GNS1.2 Gems Collection transforms time into a luminous spectacle, merging the mechanical mastery of GENUS with the enduring brilliance of fine gems. More than a watch, each piece is a radiant composition of light and motion, where gemstones don’t just decorate but become an integral part of the time display. A perfect union of Haute Horlogerie and Haute Joaillerie, designed for those who seek brilliance in every moment.
In the GNS1.2 Gems, time is not merely told — it shines. The traditional concept of watch hands is replaced by a dynamic movement where precious gemstones chart the course of time:
The 12 peripheral satellites indicate the hours, elegantly marking the passage of time.
The “8-path” carries fine gemstones that tell the 10s-of-minutes, guiding the eye in a fluid, endless movement.
In the Diamond Rivière, a stream of white diamonds cascades across the dial, reflecting the infinite depth of time. A singular yellow sapphire leads the way, indicating the passage of time, and creating a golden glimmer that shows each fleeting minute. In the Rainbow Green, a vibrant spectrum of rainbow-hued sapphires sweeps across the dial, celebrating the passage of time shown by the lead diamond, with a kaleidoscope of following colored sapphires.
Every movement becomes a play of brilliance, where each gemstone serves as both a marker of time and a prism of light. As they travel their endless course, they refract and scatter radiance, like celestial bodies tracing unseen orbits. Diamonds sparkle like frozen constellations, while sapphires glimmer like distant galaxies, transforming every fleeting second into an eternal spectacle of luminous beauty.
Each gemstone in the GNS1.2 Gems collection is meticulously and individually selected, cut, and set by hand, ensuring unmatched brilliance and precision. A Master Gem-setter together with our Master Watchmaker carefully place each stone, aligning them perfectly to maximize their radiance while ensuring their fluidity of motion that defines GENUS timepieces.
Like a jeweler crafting a masterpiece, the delicate process of stone selection —balancing color, clarity, and cut — ensures that every timepiece captures light in a truly unique way. The result is a harmony between mechanical ingenuity and artistic craftsmanship, where every detail enhances both the functionality and aesthetics of the watch.
The foundation of the GNS1.2 Gems is as extraordinary as its gemstones. Encased in Grade 5 titanium, Damascene Titanium, or 18K gold it combines strength with beauty, ensuring lasting durability without compromising elegance.
Each element of this timepiece is meticulously crafted, finished, and assembled by hand, adhering to the highest standards of Swiss Haute Horlogerie. The combination of precious materials and artisanal expertise elevates every GENUS creation into an object of both rarity and refinement.
Owning a GNS1.2 Gems is not just about wearing a watch—it is about embracing the artistry of time. Each gemstone tells a story, illuminating the path of hours and minutes with an unparalleled brilliance.
The luminous presence of diamonds and sapphires enhances the experience, making each moment a tribute to light, movement, and exclusivity. Whether through the pure elegance of the Diamond Rivière or the vivid energy of the Rainbow Green, these timepieces transform every glance at the wrist into an intimate encounter with beauty and precision.
Like the finest gemstones, the GNS1.2 Gems Collection is rare, precious, and sought after by connoisseurs of both fine watchmaking and high jewelry. Each watch is produced in strictly limited numbers, ensuring its uniqueness and desirability among collectors.
By merging the disciplines of horology, gemology, and jewelry, GENUS has crafted a collection that is as much a masterpiece of mechanics as it is of artistry—a radiant testament to the infinite brilliance of time.
