In recognition of the prestigious sport of tennis, Gerald Charles has introduced two new additions to the Maestro GC collection that tribute the time-honored professional playing surfaces. Shown here, the Gerald Charles Maestro GC Sport Clay is distinguished by its russet-colored brass dial, which subtly fades to a lighter shade toward the center, reminiscent of the red clay of tennis courts wearing through the course of a tournament. This evocative color gradient not only captures the essence of the sport but also adds a dynamic visual element to the watch's design. Carefully reserved flat sections host the logo, minute track, and Swiss Made designation, enhancing the dial's visual depth and clarity. Also available in Grass Green.
Ref. GC2.0-TX-TN-08
Like the original Maestro GC Sport, this model is distinguished by several innovative modifications from the Gerald Charles Maestro 2.0 Ultra-Thin. Significant among these enhancements is the watch’s 39mm case, now forged in polished Grade 5 titanium, offering a lighter feel on the wrist while retaining strength making it ideal for athletic wear. Additionally, the screw-down crown has been relocated from the right to the left side of the case to minimize discomfort during play, enhancing both functionality and comfort for the athlete. The Gerald Charles GCA3002 automatic manufacture movement has also undergone significant enhancements in partnership with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier to meet the rigorous demands of active lifestyles. It has been fortified to be up to 40 percent more shock-resistant, ensuring reliability and resilience during high-impact activities. Furthermore, the movement's rotor has been upgraded for increased durability, calibrated to prevent over-winding and ensure optimal winding speed during intense physical exercise, safeguarding the mechanism's longevity and performance.
