Gerald Charles Showcases Future Innovations in SoHo

Following the recent Watches & Wonders 2026 event, the focus of the horology world now shifts to New York City. On May 6, Hodinkee, in collaboration with Gerald Charles, will host a special gathering at the Watches of Switzerland showroom in SoHo. This event is designed to provide watch enthusiasts with an intimate opportunity to examine the latest timepieces unveiled in Geneva and witness the brand's progression in a local setting.

A key highlight of the evening will be an insightful conversation between Federico Ziviani, CEO of Gerald Charles, and Tim Jeffreys, Hodinkee's Deputy Editor. They will discuss the brand's rich history, particularly its connection to Gérald Genta's final creative endeavors, and its ambitious plans for the future. This will be a comprehensive exploration of the brand's distinctive 'Maestro' design philosophy, complemented by cocktails and the exclusive chance to be among the first in the U.S. to experience the newest models firsthand.

This event offers a rare convergence of craftsmanship, history, and future vision within the luxury watch industry. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of fine watchmaking and the continuous innovation driving the sector forward. By bringing these discussions and direct experiences to a passionate community, such events foster a deeper appreciation for the artistry and engineering behind each timepiece, encouraging both seasoned collectors and newcomers to engage with the narrative and evolution of these remarkable brands.
