Genius ‘Greenstone Legacy’ in stainless steel featuring a green malachite stone dial


The Senegalese-Italian TikTok and social media sensation Khaby Lame is wearing a 39mm Genius’ Greenstone Legacy’ in stainless steel featuring a green malachite stone dial.

What do you guys think of the idea of mixing two legendary watch models?

The Genius’ Greenstone Legacy’ is the first 39mm stainless steel watch with a malachite stone dial. Gerald Genta’s name might not be spoken as frequently as it should be. It should be noted that many of your holy grails originated in this man’s notebook, from the cutting-edge Nautilus to the fun Mickey Mouse timepiece. It is hardly surprising why Gerald is regarded as the founder of contemporary watchmaking. Some even refer to him as the watch industry’s Picasso.

The title Genta Gerald has caused Horologists to have strong feelings about its name, and for a good reason. One person is credited for creating the designs for several of the most famous watches of the 20th century. They include the Omega Constellation, Pasha de Cartier, and IWC Ingenieur. Eventually, it has influenced how people today think about luxury watch design.

The Genius legacy collection made five luxury watches. The first was the blue steel legacy, followed by the white steel legacy, the grey steel legacy, the brown steel legacy, and lastly, the green steel legacy.

The Genius Genta greenstone legacy is a blend of the Royal Oak and the Nautilus. Genius Genta was acquired by the Bulgari brand in 2000, and the subsequent integration of the two brands led to numerous watch designs. With the launch of the Genius Genta, a brand-new watch company, Genius Watches wanted to honor Genta’s work, and thus the genius legacy collection was born.

The Genius greenstone legacy is Swiss made with an automatic sellita SW200 AIG2. It is encased in stainless steel and made from malachite stone. It has a water-resistant level of up to 5 ATMs and is made with a sapphire glass material that has a silver rim and is coated with an anti-glare material. In addition, the crown has a double O-ring, and the buckle is made with a butterfly buckle, while the hands are brass with Swiss super luminous.

In addition, this Genius’ Greenstone Legacy’ in stainless steel features a concealed crown, which is divided into two pieces. This enables the watch to be worn in both directions, with the 12 and 6 o’clock positions interchangeably.

For sure, the Genius Legacy watches have drawn a lot of attention from both lovers and collectors over the years, especially when the price on the secondary market has been a major point of controversy. Influencer and celebrity endorsements are prevalent marketing techniques when it comes to smartwatches and fashion. However, if they are meaningless or don’t make sense for the brand, they may be executed poorly.

This Genius ‘Greenstone Legacy’ wristwatch is owned by TikTok personality Khaby Lame, indicating efforts to promote this piece to the public. This, thus, shows how well connected the Genis watches label is and its much larger aspirations.

Price market: $5,300.00 USD
