The TAOS Genèse watch draws inspiration from the earth’s natural layers, translating geological depth and texture into a striking piece of haute horology. Crafted in 18K white gold, the design reveals a dial structured like a mineral cross-section, where each section showcases a different decorative technique. Intricate engraving beneath enamel creates dimensional patterns that echo the fractures and shifting formations found within stone. Rich materials such as black jade and blue agate add visual depth, with matte, polished, and textured finishes interacting with light to highlight the dial’s layered architecture.

Underfired enamel preserves the grain of the surface, creating a tactile effect reminiscent of unpolished mineral surfaces. The mechanical movement continues the theme with a newly developed geometric decoration that mirrors the dial’s architectural language. Each movement component undergoes extensive hand engraving, requiring between 100 and 150 hours of meticulous craftsmanship. The result is a rare luxury watch that combines fine watchmaking, stone marquetry, and traditional engraving, offering collectors a distinctive expression of artistic independent horology.
