Gerald Charles Unveils Its Most Complex Timepiece, The Masterlink Perpetual Calendar

Gerald Charles, the independent Swiss watchmaking Maison founded by the great Mr. Gérald Charles Genta, unveils its most complicated watch since its reestablishment less than a decade ago. The Masterlink Perpetual Calendar, developed entirely in-house, marks a new chapter for the young and ambitious Maison as it continues to expand its repertoire of poetic complications.

In keeping with Gerald Charles’s “No Compromise” watchmaking philosophy, established by Mr. Genta more than a quarter of a century ago, the Masterlink Perpetual Calendar introduces an in-house, asymmetrical, automatic perpetual calendar calibre with a three-counter display.

Frederique Constant draws inspiration from the elegance of the 1920s and 1930s with the unveiling of the new Classics Carrée Moonphase Automatic, a vibrant tribute to the Art Deco era.

For the first time, this iconic Frederique Constant model incorporates the refined complication of a moon phase display alone. First introduced in 2003, this rectangular dress watch has been reinterpreted over the years in various materials, sizes, and configurations.

The new model features a rectangular case measuring 42.3mm x 30mm, with a height of 10.51mm. With its fluid lines, the case is crafted from polished stainless steel and fitted with an onion-shaped crown to control the functions. The sapphire crystal caseback, secured by four screws, reveals the movement within.

The Classics Carrée Moonphase is offered in two versions, each featuring a herringbone-stamped, guilloché-like dial with a sunray finish — one silver-toned, the other navy blue. Applied hour markers are complemented by Dauphine-style hands, while the moon phase display appears classically at 6 o’clock against a dark blue sky.

Powering the watch is the calibre FC-333, based on the Sellita SW280. Beating at a frequency of 4Hz, it offers a power reserve of 38 hours and features a stop-seconds mechanism for precise time setting. The movement is adorned with blued screws and a gold-plated rotor.

The Frederique Constant Classics Carrée Moonphase is fitted with a black or navy-blue calfskin leather strap, embossed with an alligator-scale pattern and tone-on-tone stitching, secured by a stainless-steel pin buckle. The price is set at CHF 1,695, approximately AED 7,735.
