Gerald Charles enters the world of ladies' watches with the Mini Maestro

In 2026, Gerald Charles opens a new chapter, entering the world of ladies’ watches in the pure creative spirit of Mr. Gérald Charles Genta. Inspired by the iconic GC58 pièce unique created in 2006 and now preserved at the Geneva Museum, this new creation is unveiled in three refined shades: black, ice blue and pink.

T

he Mini Maestro is born from a dream - a vision where proportion becomes poetry and elegance knows no boundaries. Inspired by the iconic GC58 pièce unique created in 2006 and now preserved at the Geneva Museum, this new creation is unveiled in three refined shades: black, ice blue and pink.

Faithful to the unmistakable Maestro silhouette yet reimagined in a more intimate size, with an overall dimension of 30mm, the Mini Maestro transcends gender. It is conceived for all who appreciate beauty in its most expressive form.

There is a certain natural grace in wearing a smaller watch. It belongs to the realm of adornment, where emotion, proportion and light take precedence. The Mini Maestro celebrates this expressive dimension of watchmaking, where elegance is felt in every gesture.

With 50 meters of water resistance and an easy release strap system developed in-house, it combines everyday versatility with a refined, jewelry-like presence.

At Gerald Charles, comfort is never an afterthought - it is a philosophy. The Mini Maestro was conceived to be lived in, to accompany the rhythm of everyday life with effortless refinement. Light on the wrist and harmonious in proportion, it embodies the idea that true luxury must feel as natural as it looks.

Crafted in lightweight Titanium, the watch features the ErgonTeq®1 design, a proprietary engineering solution optimized for comfort on the wrist.

The dial reveals a delicate Clous de Paris mini-tapisserie texture, a subtle play of light and depth. The brilliance continues onto the bezel and dial through a refined diamond setting. The bezel is illuminated by 54 diamonds totaling 0.53 carats, enhancing the watch with a radiance that remains graceful and never ostentatious.

Versatility lies at the heart of the Mini Maestro. The Clous de Paris motif - inspired by classical architecture and deeply rooted in traditional watchmaking - extends beyond the dial into the strap design, creating a subtle dialogue of textures.

An in-house developed easy-release system allows the wearer to change the strap effortlessly and independently. With more than ten colours available - in both rubber and leather - the Mini Maestro becomes an expression of mood, occasion, and individuality. A watch that transforms as effortlessly as the woman who wears it.

Dress it up. Dress it down. Designed as an everyday companion, the Mini Maestro moves seamlessly from day to evening, from simplicity to sophistication.

For the first time, the buckle itself has been sculpted in the shape of the Maestro case - a subtle yet powerful signature detail that completes the aesthetic harmony of the timepiece. The Mini Maestro is not merely a smaller Maestro. It is an intimate interpretation of Gerald Charles’ creative legacy.
