THE RIGHT MOVEMENT FOR A MILESTONE WATCH

Movement

At just 3.7mm thick and finished inside out according to Gerald Charles’s exacting standards in hand-finishing, the new, specially customized, automatic Caliber GCA3002 is a highly sophisticated ultra-thin Manufacture movement.

It showcases the best of fine Swiss tradition; conforming to highest quality standards, enriched by Côte de Genève decorated bridges. Gerald Charles’s watchmakers worked to maximise the movement’s accuracy and 50-hour power reserve, and to improve vibration and shock resistance.

WHERE ART AND INNOVATION MEET

Maestro 2.0 case

The Maestro 2.0 case, with an overall 40mm fit, has been subtly updated to push elegance and performance to their limits. The overall form, which is carved out of eight pieces of solid 18-carat rose gold, has been slimmed down to 8.7mm, a reduction of 3mm compared to the previous Maestro.

To achieve this level of thinness, the flange around the edge of the dial has been reduced, which has the added benefit of drawing the eye deeper into the dial. The lugs have also been redesigned creating a seamless profile that makes the watch sit flatter on the wrist.

Incredible water-resistance performance

Water-resistance

Reducing the thickness of the Maestro 2.0 presented Gerald Charles’ engineers with a technical challenge: how to deliver 100 meters of water resistance in a gold watch with an irregular-shaped crystal? Through a process of research and development that continued during the global pandemic of 2020, Gerald Charles technicians and engineers innovated a bespoke system that ensured equal pressure around the edge of the sapphire crystal and 100 meters of water resistance, a singular engineering achievement. A screw-down 18-carat rose gold crown, with a Clous de Paris finish, further protects the watch.

VULCANIZED RUBBER STRAP

Green emerald

The Gerald Charles strap in emerald green features its classic double-face decoration with Clou de Paris on one side and the GC logo’s tapisserie on the other. This is also an original design by Mr. Genta for the Swiss Maison. The strap material is a technical vulcanized rubber, chosen by the Maison to guarantee superior water resistance, strength, durability and comfort on wrist.
