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.

Parmigiani Fleurier has unveiled the TONDA PF Micro-Rotor Corail, a limited-edition timepiece created to celebrate UAE partner Ahmed Seddiqi’s 75th anniversary. Limited to just 25 pieces, this exclusive model epitomises the Maison’s discreet and refined horological mastery, featuring a new and exclusive dial colour to mark this milestone.

Since its debut in 2021, the TONDA PF collection has established itself as a benchmark in contemporary haute horlogerie. The TONDA PF Micro-Rotor embodies Parmigiani Fleurier’s philosophy of minimalist elegance. With its micro-rotor movement, the watch is pared down to its essence, presenting only two hands and a date window, while the dial serves as an open stage for intricate craftsmanship.

The Ahmed Seddiqi limited edition TONDA PF Micro-Rotor Corail features a stainless steel case with a platinum 950 knurled bezel, measuring 40 mm in diameter and just 7.8 mm in thickness.

The case is equipped with anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both the front and the case back, revealing the serial number and exclusive engravings: “PARMIGIANI FLEURIER” and “1 of 25”. The crown is securely screwed in for added protection, allowing the watch to offer 100 meters of water resistance.

The piece is complemented by a unique coral-coloured hand-guilloché dial. It features the Maison's iconic Grain d’Orge pattern and 18ct gold rhodium-plated indices. A nod to the region and partner, the date window at 6 o’clock displays Eastern Arabic numerals.

This special edition is powered by the automatic Calibre PF703, impressively slender at just 3.07 mm, and equipped with a platinum 950 micro-rotor. Operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, the movement offers a 48-hour power reserve. The micro-rotor is decorated with a barley-grain pattern and the brand’s logo at its center. Additionally, the bridges feature a Côtes de Genève finish, while the mainplate is generously adorned with perlage.

The watch is paired with an integrated stainless steel bracelet, polished and satin-finished, secured with a folding clasp. Available exclusively at Ahmed Seddiqi stores, this edition is strictly limited to 25 pieces. Priced at 128,800 AED.
