Swiss luxury watchmaker Gerald Charles has unveiled the Maestro GC Sport Tennis Turquoise Edition, a new addition to its sporty watch line. This limited-edition timepiece boasts a unique turquoise dial and is designed to keep up with the rapid movements of tennis players. The watch's design is inspired by the brand's iconic Maestro collection, with an asymmetrical case that has become a signature element of Gerald Charles' designs.
The Maestro GC Sport Tennis Turquoise Edition features a 39mm wide and 41mm long case made from grade 5 Darkblast titanium, which provides exceptional strength and durability while weighing only 64 grams. The watch's case is designed to withstand intense physical activity, with a screw-down crown and a sapphire crystal face that can resist shocks of up to 5G. The watch is also water-resistant up to 100 meters, making it suitable for various sports and activities.
The watch's turquoise dial is a key feature of this limited edition, with a gradient effect that adds depth and contrast. The dial is paired with white Super-LumiNova indexes and hands, ensuring optimal readability in low-light conditions. A date display is located at 6 o'clock, maintaining symmetry despite the watch's asymmetrical design. The watch is paired with a turquoise Velcro strap and a titanium Darkblast buckle, complementing the case's dark finish.
The Maestro GC Sport Tennis Turquoise Edition is powered by the GCA2001 automatic caliber, developed by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. This movement measures 23.3mm in diameter and 3.7mm in thickness, making it one of the thinnest calibers available. The movement features 189 components, 28 rubis, and a Gyromax balance that oscillates at 28,800 alternations per hour. The watch has a 50-hour power reserve and a second-stop function for precise time-setting.
To adapt the GCA2001 caliber for the GC Sport collection, Gerald Charles made several modifications to enhance its performance and durability. The watch's rotor has been redesigned to better manage rapid and repeated wrist movements, preventing over-winding caused by frequent accelerations. The caliber's shock resistance has also been increased by 40% compared to its standard configuration.
The Gerald Charles Maestro GC Sport Tennis Turquoise Edition is a highly exclusive timepiece, with only 100 units produced. The watch is priced at 20,000 CHF or 20,000 euros, depending on the market. This limited edition is part of Gerald Charles' ongoing efforts to combine high-end watchmaking with sports functionality.
The Maestro GC Sport Tennis Turquoise Edition is a significant addition to Gerald Charles' GC Sport collection, which aims to merge ultra-thin mechanical watchmaking with sports practicality. The watch's unique design, advanced caliber, and limited production make it an attractive option for tennis enthusiasts and watch collectors alike.
