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.

Since its founding in 1830, Baume & Mercier has built a reputation for crafting elegant watches that continues to captivate enthusiasts. This year, Baume & Mercier unveiled the Baumatic Moon Phases Date models 10756 and 10758, featuring striking blue and gray dials.

The watches feature a classic 39 mm diameter and a 12.25 mm thickness, crafted from polished and brushed stainless steel. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which is also used on the screw-down case back. A fluted crown ensures smooth and easy time-setting.

The watch features a grey or blue lacquered dial with a black gradient at the edges, offering a sleek appearance. Rhodium or gold-plated alpha hands and indices enhance the dial with a touch of elegance. At 6 o’clock, a moon phase indicator is displayed on a rotating disc adorned with a moon and stars. Encircling it is a date indicator that points to a ring numbered from 1 to 31. A minute track and numerals, printed in white, are positioned along the edges of the dial.

Both watches are powered by the BM14-1975AC1 movement, an automatic movement that offers 120 hours (5 days) of power reserve, and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz). The watch comes with a black or blue alligator leather strap and a stainless steel buckle. Priced at CHF 4,400, approximately equivalent to AED 19,400.
