*Note: Gilbert Albert is consider one of the most innovative and artistic modern jewelers. In his approach, the traditional and conventional designs of cases were completely re-drawn, defying the conventional shapes that manufacturers were used to producing. Much of his inspiration came from his love of modern sculpture and, in particular, his admiration for Brancusi and Mondrian. – antiquorum
Gilbert Albert together with like-minded designer Richard Arbib (Hamilton Electric) pushed the triangular and rhomboid envelopes.
