The Gérald Genta Retro Classic G.3328.7 Mother‑of‑Pearl is a quiet gem—compact, elegant, and imbued with the discreet genius of its creator. Measuring just 33 mm across, this stainless steel watch is powered not by a sweeping mechanical heart, but by a precise Swiss quartz movement—a thoughtful choice by Genta, who often blended traditional craftsmanship with accessible innovation.

What makes it quietly striking is the mother-of-pearl dial, lightly radiant beneath the glass with shifting iridescence that hints at depth beyond its surface. Rather than retrograde minutes or jumping hours, time here progresses predictably and precisely: simple Roman numerals, a central pair of polished steel hands, and a discreet date window at six o’clock, all resting within an unembellished canvas.

Genta designed the Retro Classic to be wearable art—and in this 33 mm format, it’s perfectly suited for smaller wrists or those who prefer subtlety over scale. The bracelet is equally considered: integrated stainless links with a polished finish that echo the case’s gentle curves, offering balance and comfort.

There’s even a hidden flourish beneath the crystal: many examples feature a laser-etched hexagonal repeating pattern on the inside of the sapphire, creating a faint optical geometry that shifts with light—a touch only appreciable by those paying close attention.
