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.

Mido has a strong focus on functional design, mechanical reliability, and long-lasting durability. The brand is known for producing robust automatic watches that combine technical performance with accessible Swiss watchmaking. The new Multifort TV Chronograph builds on this foundation by adding a chronograph to the distinctive TV-shaped case design that has become a signature of the modern Multifort line.

The watch features a stainless steel case with black PVD coating, measuring 42 mm in diameter and 41.2 mm in width, with a lug-to-lug length of 50.8 mm. The construction is finished with a mix of satin-brushed and polished surfaces. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides protects the dial, and the chronograph pushers are positioned on the case flanks for easy operation. The caseback is transparent and secured with a screw-down construction, and it is engraved with the serial number. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres.

The dial features a grey-to-black gradient finish with a pronounced horizontal brushed texture. It is equipped with three chronograph counters for 60 seconds, 30 minutes, and 12 hours. A large central chronograph seconds hand ensures precise time measurement. The hour and minute hands are flat, diamond-cut, and finished in black, filled with beige Super-LumiNova for visibility in low light. A tachymeter scale is positioned on the flange, and a discreet date window is located at 4:30.

Powering the watch is the Caliber 60, an automatic Swiss mechanical movement based on the ETA A05.231 architecture. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and delivers a power reserve of up to 60 hours.

The watch is delivered with an integrated stainless steel bracelet with black PVD coating and polished central links, secured with a folding clasp. It also comes with a second option, which is a beige leather strap with a patina-style finish and black stitching, fitted with a black PVD stainless steel pin buckle. The price is CHF 2,420, which is approximately AED 11,100.
