Gerald Charles is an independent, family-owned watch company based in Switzerland. It was founded in 2000 by the great Mr. Gérald Charles Genta, the 20th century’s foremost watch designer. Monsieur Genta, often referred to simply as ‘Maestro’, was a hugely productive artist and watch designer. After selling the company in 2003, he stayed on as its designer-in-chief until his death in 2011. Every watch created by Gerald Charles is based on one of his original designs and carries his legacy of ‘Artistic Creativity, Technical Mastery’ forward into the future. Gerald Charles watches are at the cutting edge of ergonomics and designed and manufactured to sit comfortably and elegantly on the wrist. Gerald Charles watches are produced without compromise and marry the finest traditions and most up-to-date technologies of Swiss mechanical watchmaking to deliver superior precision and performance, as well as exceptional water and shock resistance. Today, the Maison produces an average of 2000 pieces per year. In reference to the company’s founder, Monsieur Genta, every Gerald Charles timepiece is a reflection of the brand’s elegant sports style.
