About the Maestro 2.0 Ultra-thin: Mr Gerald Charles Genta introduced the Maestro case, an iconic case made to last for future generations, whose shape lies between a square and an octagon. He took inspiration from the 17th century baroque architecture, realised by swiss-born Italian architecht Francesco Borromini. The "smile" at 6 o'clock is a subtle reflection of the concavity on the monuments' façades.
