Artisans de Genève’s “AFRIKA” is a Rolex GMT-Master II with Worldtime Function

As a globetrotting enthusiast with a soft spot for wildlife conservation, this Artisans de Genève masterpiece titled “AFRIKA” truly resonates with my spirit. The name itself evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminding me of my unforgettable journey to the Okonjati Wildlife Sanctuary, where I had the privilege of witnessing the majestic rhinos up close.


Artisans de Genève unveils their latest custom creation, named “AFRIKA.” This watch is an innovative reinterpretation of the Rolex GMT-Master II 116710, showcasing a daring and exploratory design.

The client’s watch reminds them of the Okonjati Wildlife Sanctuary and its efforts to safeguard rhinos. Since AFRIKA means homeland or motherland, it’s a fitting name for a watch symbolizing life and liberty. Taking inspiration from this, the design is reimagined with an open-worked movement and a green ceramic globe-style bezel, showcasing 24 cities and their respective timezones.

The rich, earthy shade of green is repeated both on the ring of the chapter and on the dauphine-style hands. Furthermore, hints of golden yellow are incorporated into the intricate dial design, resulting in an elegant color scheme reminiscent of Africa’s untouched landscapes.

Check out the word “AFRIKA” up there. For further details about this unique project’s journey and methodology, kindly visit Artisans de Genève’s official website.
