“Precious open-work chiselling Arabesque d’or is the fantasy the surprise of shapes. Waterplant or nebula? This is part of a dream” – An extract from the leaflet “Jeux d’or Omega 1967. Gilbert Albert (born September 20 1930) A renowned Genevan jewelry designer and artist. In 1955 at the age of 24 he began to apply his innovative talents to the design of wristwatch cases for Patek Philippe. Breaking away from traditional shapes he introduced asymmetrical triangles and rhombic forms inspired by his passion for modern sculpture and works by his favorite artists such as Brancusi and Mondrian. He also introduced textured organic surfaces on the asymmetrical shapes designed for the Patek Philippe “Ricochet” collection. However many of his more revolutionary designs of that time remained prototypes and were not produced in series. In 1962 Gilbert Albert established his own workshop designing and producing jewelry under his own name. Over the years he became very successful both in Geneva and internationally receiving numerous awards for his jewelry. Gilbert Alberts creations have been exhibited worldwide.
