Milano Watch Week 2026: An Insider’s Verdict on Europe’s Rising Watch Event
Credor Locomotive
In 2024, the Gérald Genta-designed Locomotive was reborn as a commemorative limited edition in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Credor brand. Today, a new Locomotive featuring a fresh dial design is born. The new watch marks the beginning of a new design series within the Credor brand, characterized by creations inspired by the Locomotive’s iconic design.
The relationship between Gérald Genta and Seiko dates back to the 1970s, when the designer frequently traveled to Japan and developed a close bond with the Japanese watchmaker. Among his celebrated creations was the Credor Locomotive, a design that symbolized the mutual respect and friendship between Seiko and Genta. The name Locomotive, inspired by the power of an advancing train, is also a French term meaning "driving force," embodying Genta's vision of propelling Credor, and Seiko, into the future.
