What happened there, couldn't they decide whether to rip off a Nautilus or a RO so settled for half of each.
Horrible.
Hurts my eyes.

Horrible.
Looks like they couldn’t decide to go with an octagonal case or round.
Thats class...
Can you imagine meeting the person that thought it was a good idea?
Moving your mouse seem to achieve the required result
'Against stupidity, the gods themselves struggle in vain' - Schiller.
Curious to see a picture of the clasp... where the two different bracelet shapes intersect. Good find OP! this is something else ..
That reminds me of the Swiss Icons watch that Moser presented a couple of years ago

Bit late for April Fools!
Saw an image of one of these a while back when searching for an image of the PP and just assumed some clown was titting-about with Photoshop for April Fools' Day...
Someone. Actually. Made. This.
And better yet, "These Swiss-made automatic Genius Gentas are set to retail for $5,000 USD"...
I'm guessing gnomic Swiss copyright lawyers are toiling frantically as we type...
Honestly, were the originals not already ugly enough?
It's quite hard to believe this is real, I'd loved to have been at the meeting where this was pitched as a good idea.
Surely this has to be a joke.
I must admit, I looked at this originally on my mobile and hadn't even seen the differing dial textures. Definitely looks like a cut-and-shut between a fake AP and a fake PP. I have no idea what was going through the manufacturers head or who would want to buy it.
Was this Jeff Goldblum's watch in The Fly?
Must say I do find that aggravating to look at. The dual-orientation text and the clash with the Gs is the worst of it, for me.
Bob Maron is pushing these heavily on IG.
He must have invested.
They don’t get better looking the more you see them I assure you.
According to the website: Genius is a tribute to Gerald Genta’s legacy, to his unrivalled talent in designing the most iconic watches of all times. With due respect for the maestro, I wanted something new and unique. Genius is a design collision, a form of art coming to light from the cosmic impact of forms.
It is different, but I don’t like it!!

Playing fast and loose with the word ‘genius’.
I saw that on Bob Maron's Instagram and thought it was a photoshop joke!
It's a brave idea when you look at the dial mash up with the added Chanel logo "homage" chucked in for good measure and then there's the different bracelets, but sometimes some things should remain just an idea scribbled on a napkin after a few drinks.
