Case
The Maestro 8.0 Squelette has been engineered with a bespoke gasket to seal the case's sapphire crystals and the screw-down crown, ensuring a 10 ATM water-resistance. Furthermore, the case, the lugs and the pin buckle are all on the same straight line. Hence, the adhering surface on the wrist is maximised to well distribute the timepiece's weight, enabling to wear it everytime and everywhere.
Width: 39.00mm Lenght: 41.70mm Thickness: 8.35mm Entrecorne: 22.00mm
Sertissage Made in Geneva
Complex engineering solutions have been applied to integrate a series of precious gems into the Maestro’s curved case architecture. The challenge is brought up by the irregular shape of the bezel which requires a special cut for each precious stone.

Movement
For the Maestro 8.0 Squelette, Gerald Charles engineers develop the automatic Ref. GCA 5482 calibre, with a micro-rotor architecture and bespoke screws which is exclusive to Gerald Charles and which has been specifically designed so that it can be enhanced with various complications. When it came to designing the GCA 5482 calibre, Mr. Octavio Garcia chose the theme of the celestial sky chart. The star-shaped cage that holds the micro-rotor in place is shaped like a shooting star, with rays spreading playfully across it.
