We are thrilled to welcome to the podcast the CEO of Gerald Charles, Mr. Federico Ziviani.

One of the most exciting luxury brands emerging today, Gerald Charles, is quietly redefining the modern luxury sports watch whilst celebrating the work of the most famous watch designer in modern watch history: Gerald Charles Genta. Famed for creating the genre of modern sports luxury with the design of the game-changing Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet back in 1972, Mr. Genta repeated the success for Patek Philippe with the design of the Nautilus in 1976. In addition to many other famous creations, Gerald Genta created many of the world’s most complicated timepieces, and some of the most whimsical, including the famous Mickey Mouse watches.

The Maestro collection by Gerald Charles represents one of Mr. Genta’s finest designs and one of the last creations that was produced by the brand bearing the artist’s first and middle names. Join us as we learn more about the origins of the Maestro collection and the current development of this incredible brand. Mr. Federico Ziviani shares with us his passion and determination to carry forward the legacy of the great Master. We chat about the modern company and the collaborators within, including Creative Director Octavio Garcia famed for his work with Audemars Piguet. We discuss the impressive specs and details that are present in every model throughout the collection, as well as discovering the incredible connection to tennis that makes it the choice of a number of top ATP players on the global circuit today.

As always, Keeping Time host Jeremy Oster and co-host Doug Hoyt present an engaging, unscripted conversation designed to bring listeners the inside track into today’s world of fine watchmaking. Thank you for downloading, sharing and enjoying Keeping Time podcast. Gerald Charles collection.
