After a remarkable spell with Patek Philippe in the 1950s, where he broke with traditional shapes, Gilbert Albert imposed his asymmetrical style and his taste for textured surfaces. A two-time winner of the Prix de la Ville de Genève in Watchmaking and Jewellery, Gilbert Albert was commissioned by Omega in the 1960s to create new lines of watches and pendants that were to become iconic: Les Jeux d'or.
