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.

Oris has remained an independent brand for over a century, producing mechanical watches with character and purpose. Every year on June 1st, Oris releases a limited-edition timepiece that honors the Swiss village where it all began, Hölstein. For 2025, the brand returns with a bold take on the iconic ProPilot, featuring a fully lumed dial.

The watch is housed in a stainless steel case coated in black DLC, measuring 41mm in diameter and 11.9mm in thickness. The dial is protected by a domed, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, while the exhibition caseback, also sapphire, is surrounded by a lumed ring and engraved with the edition name. Water resistance is rated at 100 meters, aided by a screw-down crown.

By day, the dial appears matte white with black Arabic numerals and matching hands. But in darkness, it transforms: coated entirely in Super-LumiNova, the dial glows vivid green, and a playful silhouette of the Oris Bear emerges between 3 and 4 o’clock.

Powering the watch is Oris’s in-house Calibre 400, an automatic movement that delivers a 120-hour (five-day) power reserve and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz). It comes fitted with a black textile strap lined with leather and secured with a black DLC-plated folding clasp to match the case. The Hölstein Edition 2025 is limited to just 250 individually numbered pieces and is priced at CHF 4,150, approximately AED 18,700.
