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.

Nomos has built its name on a precise Bauhaus aesthetic and meticulous German engineering, a philosophy that perfectly balances traditional craftsmanship with modern design. While models like the Tangente and Ludwig reflect the brand’s classical roots, the Metro embodies its contemporary side: sleek, refined, and distinctly urban in character.

In its latest release, the brand introduces the Metro 38 Date, powered by its new in-house hand-wound calibre DUW 4601. This model retains everything collectors appreciate about the Metro while adding a quick-set date mechanism for enhanced functionality.

The watch is housed in a polished stainless-steel case measuring 38.5 mm in diameter and 7.8 mm in thickness, with long wire-style lugs that emphasize its elegant proportions and balanced wrist presence. A domed sapphire crystal preserves the clean minimalism Nomos is known for, while a finely knurled crown completes the design. Turning the watch over reveals a sapphire crystal caseback that provides a full view of the movement within. The case offers water resistance up to 50 meters.

The white silver-plated dial features light blue markers at 3, 9, and 12 o’clock, framed by a black minute track punctuated with small dots to mark the hours. A small seconds subdial with a red hand sits at 6 o’clock beside the date window, while the needle-shaped hands in oxidized black ensure clarity and balance.

Powering the watch is the hand-wound calibre DUW 4601, the latest evolution of Nomos’s in-house engineering. Beating at 21,600 vph (3 Hz), it offers a 52-hour power reserve. The movement incorporates the Nomos Swing System, the brand’s proprietary escapement with a blued balance spring, and includes a stop-seconds mechanism for precise time setting.

Completing the piece is a 19 mm black Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan strap, fitted with quick-change spring bars for easy swaps and secured by a stainless-steel pin buckle. The watch joins the brand’s permanent collection and is priced at EUR 2,780 (approximately AED 11,800).
