A clear lover of golf Genta utilized the sport as trope in the design of his many works. Here the watch, the case of which appears entirely diamond-set, is sharply contrasted by a vibrant green dial. The retrograde minutes are indicated in this instance by a large central ball, while the jumping hours aperture seems to almost represent the hole in the green.
