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.

Credor, the Japanese brand renowned for its elegant dress watches and refined designs, introduces two new editions of its Goldfeather collection. These time-only timepieces, displaying just hours and minutes, highlight the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship through exquisite enamel dials.

The Goldfeather “Tomekon” navy blue (GBBY969) and “Hatoba” dark purple (GBBY971) are crafted in collaboration with Ando Cloisonné, a Japanese atelier specialized in enamel dial making. Exclusively created for the Japanese market, these ultra-thin dress watches place emphasis on elegance and artisanal mastery.

Each model features a polished 950 platinum case, slightly smaller than the tourbillon edition, measuring 37.4mm in diameter, 43.2mm in length, and just 8.3mm thick.

The case is topped with a box-shaped sapphire crystal, while the exhibition caseback, secured with five screws, reveals beautifully curved bridges adorned with wide stripes, chamfered edges, and blued screws.

The highlight of these new Goldfeather editions lies in their dials. Produced by Ando Cloisonné, a long-established specialist in Owari cloisonné enamel (Owari Shippo), the dials are created using the traditional “basse-taille” technique.

A solid silver base is engraved with a bas-relief pattern before being coated with multiple layers of enamel. Available in “Tomekon” navy blue and “Hatoba” dark purple, the enamel creates a delicate gradient effect that allows light to reveal the engraved motif beneath.

Powering the watches is the ultra-thin calibre 6890, measuring just 1.98mm thick. This hand-wound movement beats at 3Hz, offers a power reserve of approximately 37 hours, and delivers accuracy within +25 to -15 seconds per day.

Both models are paired with crocodile leather straps in blue or black, secured by a 950 platinum pin buckle. The Credor Goldfeather Tomekon GBBY969 and Hatoba GBBY971 will be available exclusively in Japan starting October 10, 2025, priced at EUR 26,000 (approx. AED 124,200).
