Gerald Charles was founded in 2000 by the legendary watch designer Gérald Charles Genta, whose visionary creativity and unmistakable aesthetic left an enduring mark on the world of haute horlogerie. Serving as Designer in Chief for eleven years, he produced thousands of watch sketches and dozens of unique pieces. Today, Gerald Charles is proudly owned and guided by the Ziviani family, who continue to honor Mr. Genta’s legacy while shaping the future of the brand with the same commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.

Gerald Charles timepieces are defined by a singular design language rooted in the original sketches of the Maestro, Mr. Gérald Genta. Each creation unites bold architectural aesthetics with refined Swiss craftsmanship, expressed through an unmistakable asymmetric case and a seamless balance of technical mastery and artistic vision. All Gerald Charles watches embody luxury made comfortable, moving with equal confidence from the tennis court to the gala dinner, elegant and effortless in every setting.

Our timepieces are brought to life in Switzerland, between Geneva and select ateliers, through a refined network of highly specialized artisans. Each component is crafted with meticulous care, guided by the vision and expertise of our in-house product and engineering team.

Your Gerald Charles timepiece is a high-precision instrument, meticulously crafted with exceptional care in both design and production. Therefore, it deserves dedicated care to maintain its exceptional performance over time.

There is no fixed service schedule for a Gerald Charles timepiece, as maintenance needs are influenced by how the watch is worn and the conditions it is exposed to over time. Each Gerald Charles watch is a sophisticated mechanical creation, engineered for reliability and precision. When treated with care, it will continue to operate seamlessly for years. As a general guideline, however, all mechanical watches should undergo a check approximately every three years, particularly those that remain mostly unworn or static. If you notice any irregularity, our specialists will be glad to assist you.

We recommend contacting Gerald Charles directly to ensure your timepiece is handled by certified watchmakers. You can reach their after-sale service team by email at watchcare@geraldcharles.com

Every Gerald Charles timepiece comes with a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Gerald Charles offers a warranty extension program, allowing you to protect your timepiece beyond the standard coverage.

The warranty applies to all Gerald Charles timepieces purchased through our official boutiques, our network of authorized retailers and the Gerald Charles Atelier in Geneva.
