96 JEWELLERY & WATCHES
The movement supports a twolevel dial with the jumping hour disk on top . The 12-hour markers are in vivid red and filled with red SuperLuminova .
The Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30 ° Anniversario 916 is the perfect marriage of the two brands . Starting from Gerald Charles ’ iconic features , namely the Maestro case and the vulcanised rubber strap - both original drawings by Mr . Genta - Ducati ’ s vibrant identity features have been added .
Gerald Charles commitment to new complications
Mr . Federico Ziviani – CEO of Gerald Charles : ‘’ in keeping with the promise to introduce one complication per year , we have decided to launch the Jumping
Hour complication . This timepiece features an open-worked Ducati wheel to display time by rotation , perfectly in line with Mr . Genta ’ s preference towards unconventional complications . Obviously , the skeletonised motorcycle wheel inserted in a jumping hour disk represented several engineering challenges . It took a year and a half of R & D to succeed in paying homage to the iconic Ducati 916 . This limited edition is the perfect representation of Artistic Creativity and Technical Mastery . Our aim is to break the rules of conventional watchmaking while maintaining design harmony and mechanical performance as priorities ’’.
To commemorate this extraordinary partnership , the sapphire crystal-back proudly displays the see-through movement bridges and golden rotor , enriched by the Ducati 916 logo . Exclusively for Ducati passionate clients who bought the Panigale V4 SP2 30 ° Anniversario 916 motorcycle , the bike serial number may be engraved on the watch caseback . The Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30 ° Anniversario 916 transforms itself into an emblem of shared passion and timeless design .
Moreover , alongside each limited edition piece , a dedicated lithographic sketch of the watch designed by Mr . Octavio Garcia will be gifted . Each watch will be released as a limited edition of 250 pieces — a true treasure for watch collectors and Ducati enthusiasts .
