{{wst>image_cr|Genus|GNS 1.2|320px}}

The **GNS 1.2** is an edition of the highly innovative Genus GNS 1, which was the first model from the Swiss watch company [[Genus]]. It was presented together with the first public appearance of the brand in [[2019]].

The watch features an innovative time display:
  * The hour indices revolve around the periphery, pivoting 4 times by 1/4 turn to orient themselves in the reading direction.
  * The tens-of-minutes are shown shown by the lead traveling indicator – named “the Genus” – which moves freely on the figure 8 center path (infinity, analemma).
  * The precise minute is shown by the rotating dial in the traditional 3 o’clock position.
