Experience The Thrill Of The Racetrack With The Gerald Charles Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30° Anniversario 916

Gerald Charles announced the new exclusive Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30° Anniversario 916, Ref. GC4.0-CF-11. Created in collaboration with Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, this new timepiece celebrates the 30th anniversary of the legendary Ducati 916 motorcycle. In keeping with the Maison key traits, the watch features the iconic Maestro case and a vulcanised rubber strap, available in Ruby Red.

For the first time in over 13 years, Gerald Charles has reintroduced the jumping hours complication, one of the most iconic complications of Mr. Genta’s designs. This piece represents an evolution from the historical Gerald Charles jumping hours Maestro 39, manufactured prior 2011 when the founder was still the Maison’s designer-in-chief. Devised for both durability and design, the watch features a mat black ceramic bezel on a marbled-black Carbon Forged case body, seamlessly integrated with Grade 5 Titanium crown, case-back and buckle - a testament to Gerald Charles’s unwavering commitment to excellence. These materials, known in the motorcycle world as superlight and resistant, were ideal for this new watch. In addition, the finishings are an ode to racetrack asphalt. Due to the special case construction, high water-resistance to 10 ATM/100 mt and 5G shock-resistance are guaranteed.

With only 250 pieces produced, the Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30° Anniversario 916 was the collaborative vision of CEOs: Mr. Federico Ziviani from Gerald Charles and Mr. Claudio Domenicali from Ducati. Both companies carry on an important artistic heritage from their former designers: Mr. Gérald Charles Genta and Mr. Massimo Tamburini. The Maestro 4.0 is influenced by these two individuals and celebrates design as an artistic expression of both worlds, seamlessly blending the precision of watchmaking with the fervour of motorcycling.
