Gérald Genta is a name that needs no introduction to any watch enthusiast the world over.  His designs have shaped the luxury watch world over the last few decades with iconic watch designs such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Omega Constellation, amongst many others.
This show was inspired by the recent reissue of the Credor Locomotive to mark the 50th anniversary of the luxury Japanese watch brand usually associated with Seiko. But did you know that it was Genta who designed it? Ironically for one of the brands that had led to the quartz crisis which had crippled his beloved Swiss watch industry. So, as it says in the title was this his guilty pleasure? Find out as the CP7 boys give their thoughts on this very polarising design, and what it really meant to Genta.
Of course, it's not a CP7 show without a challenge and today the guys pick their favourite 3 Genta pieces outside of the obvious Royal Oak and Nautilus. 
Brace yourselves for an exciting announcement too as the podcast evolves into Phase 2 of its roadmap which can hopefully take the pod to a whole new level.
So buckle up and enjoy the ride for an unforgettable show about the Maestro himself, Gérald Genta, and our own very special news.
