Maestro 9.0 Roman Tourbillon

Gerald Charles honours its founder, Mr. Gérald Charles Genta, with the Maestro 9.0 Roman Tourbillon, Ref. GC9.0-A-RT-5N. Mr. Genta originally gave birth to the Maestro collection by creating in 2005 the first ever Maestro case with a tourbillon. Featuring the iconic smile at 6 o’clock, the case has the perfect shape to host the tourbillon cage.

The Maestro 9.0 Roman Tourbillon represents a Métier d’Art that simultaneously exudes a contemporary and old-style demeanour.

The Roman Tourbillon is a 50-piece limited edition collection in celebration of the Roman architecture and art from which the iconic Maestro case inspiration comes from; amply emphasised by the roman numerals on the dial. This special timepiece is not only intended to highlight the brand core values and origins, but also to reinforce Gerald Charles high-end skills and expertise in going beyond the limits.

The Roman Tourbillon is a precious model, due to the pure, uncoated 18K rose-gold dial. Behind the realization of such an intricately crafted and visually stunning dial, lies a work of precision and attention to detail which has become synonymous with Gerald Charles.

The result is a homogenous and refined texture which doesn’t affect readability and makes each piece extremely unique and exclusive. Given the technique and handmade craftsmanship only two pieces per month can be produced.  The buyer of a Roman Tourbillon’s will own a truly unique piece as no one watch is identical to another.

The watch features two-tone colour and two different materials with a blue titanium bezel on a stainless-steel case, making it an exemplary timepiece. The blue bezel features a specialized coating achieved through an advanced galvanic treatment. The coating ensures remarkable durability and resistance to extreme stresses, while the refined blue finish enhances aesthetic appeal.

On a technical level, this new timepiece features a 60-seconds flying tourbillon with the unique skeletonised cage in the shape of the GC logo, returning to the original Maestro flying tourbillon created by Mr. Gérald Charles Genta himself.

The highly sophisticated 60-seconds flying tourbillon oscillates at 4hz, made all the more vivid by the natural, three-dimensional contrasts created by combining a surgical-grade stainless steel case, a gold tourbillon bridge and titanium flying tourbillon cage. The screws have been repositioned to hold the 18K yellow-gold bridge to the movement. The timepiece also features a blue indicator applied to the “G” of the cage that serves as a small seconds indicator.

Finally, the timepiece is 10 ATM/100 mt water-resistant, 5G shock-resistant and offers 50 hour of power reserve, despite the very high technicality.
