Hi all,
I would like to ask if anyone have good or bad opinion about Gerald Charles watches? Do anyone own Gerald Charles watch and would like to share experience? I would like to learn more about that brand.

Anyone???

I don't think the brand has anything to do with Gerald Genta, only in name.

I'm pretty certain I saw a video on YT by Oliver Smith Jewellers raving about Gerald Charles quite recently, although they're probably not impartial as I think they have recently become an authorised retailer for the brand. Nonetheless I found the video quite interesting.

They are trying to hype themselves through certain channels (that's not criticism, just fact). Limited availability here in the states, hard to say.

You’re incorrect. It was the last brand Gerald Genta started. His name was Gerald Charles Genta, and that’s where the name comes from. He designed at the company till his death.

Having said all that I’m not a fan of the design, and I don’t enjoy all the reverence of Genta

tried the watch several times, not a fan of it.

The only person I know wearing this watch (ok, because he is sponsored by this brand) is Hubert Hurkacz.

Yea it was started by him, but the recent iteration is a relaunch by a 22 year old grandson of one of the original investors in the brand. I guess technically I'm wrong if you're using semantics
