Federico, CEO of Gerald Charles, commented: “We are a family-driven Maison. Many of the things we do come from the heart, not from business logic. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Gerald Charles brand, and that is something that truly deserves to be celebrated. We also owe this moment to our collectors. They believed in us, invested in us, and supported us. They deserve to witness the brand’s growth, to feel proud every time they wear a Gerald Charles timepiece.

Breaking boundaries: 
the Gerald Charles Museum leaves Geneva for the very first time

For the first time in its history, the Gerald Charles Atelier Museum in Geneva will leave its home, marking an extraordinary and unprecedented moment for the Maison. What is usually safeguarded within the intimate walls of the Atelier is now in Dubai exclusively for Dubai Watch Week. This is not a gesture the Maison takes lightly.

About Gerald Charles

Maison Gerald Charles is an independent, family-owned, watch company based in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded in 2000 by Mr. Gérald Charles Genta, he gave his two first names to his latest brand to create a unique bond between himself and his creations.

In 2003, Mr. Genta decided to sell the company to the Ziviani family, trusted partners and longtime friends, staying on as designer-in-chief until 2011. Giampaolo Ziviani led the business as General Manager, alongside Mr. Genta. Since the foundation of the company, Gerald Charles watches have been produced in limited quantities for a niche of collectors. Mr. Genta left in the company’s care an important archive of his last 11 years of original drawings. Today, many designs are still unpublished, being a long-last source of inspiration and a treasure trove for the Maison’s development. In 2019, a new board of directors took part in the company, with Federico Ziviani as CEO and so, a new chapter began. After a successful career, in late 2023, Mr. Franco Ziviani joined the family business as Chairman at Gerald Charles. In Spring 2024, Gerald Charles inaugurates its Atelier, a new home and cultural hub in Geneva, located in rue du Mont-Blanc 3, where both the Museum and the Core collection will be available.

Today, the Maison is opening up for a new generation of connoisseurs, carrying Mr. Genta’s legacy of ‘Artistic Creativity, Technical Mastery’ forward into the future. The Maison produces 1500 timepieces per year, working closely with highly skilled professionals and artisans to continue the traditions started by the great designer. All Gerald Charles watches present unique technical and aesthetic features: high-end Swiss-made watches conceived and manufactured without compromise, complying with Qualité Fleurier standards, to deliver superior precision and performance, as well as exceptional water and shock resistance. Each timepiece ensures high levels of ergonomics and versatility across all lifestyles and generations, the signature of the company’s founder and eternal inspiration, Mr. Genta.
