In 2021, Gerald Charles's talented designers and engineers collaborated with a trio of ATP Tour®* tennis players to develop the quintessential elegant sports watch. The resulting watch, the Gerald Charles Maestro GC Sport shown here in Royal Blue, masterfully blends lightweight, durable architecture with the revered traditions of fine watchmaking, embodying Monsieur Genta's legacy of 'artistic creativity and technical mastery.' This versatile timepiece is crafted to accompany every moment of life, earning the seal of approval from some of the world's foremost professional athletes. Its design not only reflects rigorous quality but also an athletic elegance suited for both the active and the everyday.
Ref. GC2.0-TX-TN-01
The Maestro GC Sport 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.
