Gerald Charles has marked the start of Fall with fresh versions of its Maestro 2.0 Ultra-Thin automatic and Maestro 3.0 chronograph in 18ct rose gold cases with chocolate brown sunray dials.
It is the first time the brand has used this color of brown in core collection watches, and they will sit alongside sumptuous dials in black, white, grey, beige and blue.
The two new references are powered by automatic movements made and customized for Gerald Charles by Swiss partner Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier.
The Maestro 2.0 Ultra-Thin uses the 3.7mm thick GCA 3002 3-hand with date movement while the chronograph contains the GCA 3022/12, which stands 6mm tall.
Both have 50 hour power reserves and are protected against shocks of up to 5G.
This puts the Maestro watches in the sport luxury category, a personality enhanced by the use of chocolate-coloured rubber straps with a Clous de Paris pattern.
Gerald Charles was established by the late Gérald Charles Genta, who designed the original Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in the 1970s, to create watches as a family business using ideas that other brands might not have brought to life.
It was founded in 2000 but sold to its current owners in 2003. Mr Genta stayed on as its designer-in-chief until his death in 2011.
The new chocolate brown Maestros are priced at £29,600 for the Ultra-Thin automatic and £36,100 for the chronograph.
