If you can dream it, you can do it. - Walt Disney

A quote by mister Walt Disney himself and perhaps a quote mister Genta lived by as well. While we all know Gérald Genta is behind the designs of the famed Royal Oak and Nautilus. We often forget the brand is also known for its many other innovating and daring masterpieces.

The brand has had a relationship with Disney since 1984 and has made many creations in the past with characters from the franchise we are all so familiar with. Think of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and even Goofy. The example we present to you today is from the 1990's, with the famed jumping hour complication with Donald Duck playing golf and with his golf club indicating the minutes of the hour. The dial is not only in perfect colored harmony but also a fine mixture of materials. An unusual combination of three colors and patterns, green and blue as a background and the stunning mother-of-pearl material placed at the retrograde sector located between 8 and 3 o'clock with painted Arabic numerals for the minutes. The jumping hour window is placed at the 4 o'clock marker. All this beauty is fitted in to a 35mm stainless steel case.

A cool fact is that for the very first time ever, Gérald Genta, now owned by the house of Louis Vuitton is joining the Only Watch auction in 2023 (currently postponed to 2024). And in good old fashion, with an appropriate Mickey Mouse, Disney watch with jumping hours. These things might not be so old fashioned after all!
