Gerald Charles

Lugano, Switzerland

Gerald Charles is a Swiss brand founded in 2000 by the legendary designer Gérald Genta, who is renowned for creating iconic timepieces such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus. The brand's aim was to combine bold, architecturally inspired designs with traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship. Following Genta’s death in 2011, the Ziviani family has continued to run the company, preserving his artistic legacy. The Maestro collection is particularly distinctive, known for its asymmetrical and original case shapes, while the Masterlink series combines sporty elegance with clean, streamlined lines.
