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.

Tutima was founded in 1927 and is well known for its robust pilot’s chronographs and military instrument watches. Yet its modern catalogue reveals a broader ambition. Alongside its aviation roots, Tutima has developed a direction that follows the traditions of Saxon watchmaking, emphasizing traditional mechanics, restrained aesthetics, and in-house movements produced in Glashütte.

That philosophy is embodied in the Patria collection, a line introduced as part of the brand’s return to Glashütte in the early 2010s. Designed as a classical counterpoint to Tutima’s sportier instrument watches, the collection focuses on clean case architecture, hand-wound manufacture calibres, and finishing techniques associated with the region’s long watchmaking heritage. The latest addition to the collection introduces a light blue dial.

The new watch arrives with a 41 mm case measuring 11.2 mm in thickness. It is crafted from polished Grade 5 titanium, a material chosen for its strength and low weight while maintaining an elegant finish that reflects light across the curved surfaces of the case. On the reverse side, a sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the movement while ensuring water resistance of 50 meters.

The dial introduces a soft light blue tone that immediately changes the personality of the watch. Its surface features a three-dimensional pyramid pattern that interacts with light to create shifting reflections and subtle depth. Time is displayed through hand-polished hands filled with Super-LumiNova for improved legibility, applied diamond-cut indices, and a small seconds counter at 6 o’clock.

Powering the watch is the manufacture Calibre 617. This manual-winding movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and delivers a power reserve of 65 hours. The watch is paired with a graphite-grey sheepskin leather strap secured by a titanium pin buckle. This model is priced at €8,600, approximately AED 36,500.
