Description

In Part I of our Gerald Charles episode I was joined by Franco and Federico Ziviani of Gerald Charles, Alex Kats of Geneva Seal in Chicago, @Jardins_des_rois, and @gregwatchman for a chat on the brand, building on the legacy of Gerald Genta, and the future of design at Gerald Charles.




In Part II, we return well fed thanks to GT Prime Steakhouse, but return with special guests Evan Turner and Andre Iguodala, and Charles Taylor to talk more in depth about Gerald Charles, and honestly, more about what make watches interesting.






We discuss the design and features of the Gerald Charles lineup, including gem set watches and the Maestro GC Sport. We also talk about the inspiration behind the brand and the importance of storytelling. The future of Gerald Charles includes expanding their collection with more complications and maintaining their focus on limited production. They also hint at a possible extension of the tennis collection and potential future collaborations with other sports, such as Formula 1.




I’ll apologize in advance (again) for the sound quality - we had a rough time passing mics around the table and resorted to an omnidirectional mic for some of the channels.
