32 WATCHES & TIMEPIECES
GERALD CHARLES INTRODUCES THE MAESTRO 2.0 METEORITE: THE MAISON’ S FIRST METEORITE TIMEPIECE TO FEATURE A SMALL-SECONDS INDICATOR
Gerald Charles opens a new chapter in the Maestro story with the Maestro 2.0 Meteorite- the Maison’ s first Meteorite watch with a smallseconds indicator, shaped through the iconic Maestro case architecture.
More than a material choice, meteorite becomes a canvas for creative expression, turning cosmic history into contemporary artwork.
Across the dial unfolds a living narrative- force, tension, and transformation captured at the split-second a meteorite collides with Earth. This storytelling spirit echoes the playful imagination of Mr. Gérald Charles Genta, who often used the dial as a stage for artistic expression.
Two executions bring this exceptional moment to life: the Black model embodies the instant of impact, with dark meteorite revealing flashes of red from the anodized baseplate and a fiery gradient running seconds indicator at 6 o’ clock, enclosed in a Darkblast steel case. The Silver model represents stillness after the explosion, where matter cools and crystallizes, pairing a silver meteorite dial with gold accents and a polished steel case.
A MATERIAL THAT RESHAPES MILLENNIA OF HISTORY
The meteorite used for the Maestro 2.0 originates from the Muonionalusta meteorite, estimated to be over 4.5 billion years old, making it one of the oldest materials available on Earth. Having fallen in northern Sweden, the quantity of meteorite on Earth is extraordinarily rare- far more limited than gold or diamonds. Its scarcity enhances the significance of every piece produced.
