Full-Cataloguing
Gerald Charles marks a first in the history of the Maison with the Maestro GC39 Mitoraj: a unique Grand Maestro Jumping Hour, and the brand's first-ever wristwatch dedicated to the arts.
For Gerald Charles, this was an invitation to approach the project as a genuine collaboration between disciplines, in partnership with Atelier Mitoraj and Galleria d'Arte Contini, built around the work of one of the most distinctive sculptors of his generation: Igor Mitoraj.
Igor Mitoraj developed one of the most recognizable sculptural languages of the last century - rooted in the idealized beauty of classical Greco-Roman sculpture, yet disrupted by fragmentation. Luci di Nara is particularly representative: the serenity of a classical face coexisting with its own incompleteness.
Translating a monumental work into a component of only a few centimetres required preserving Mitoraj's recognizable expression and volumes without reducing it to illustration. The face is realized as a separate three-dimensional miniature sculpture in brass, finished in a warm 4N PVD treatment, set against a precisely machined guilloché dial.
The Maestro GC39 Mitoraj is powered by the automatic Calibre GCA3900: 265 components, 38 jewels, operating at 4 Hz with approximately 50 hours of power reserve. The jumping hour is deceptively simple in appearance: for sixty minutes, the mechanism accumulates the energy required to advance the hour disc in a single, near-instantaneous jump.
