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.

Alpina

Alpina is a Swiss watch brand that was founded in 1883 in Geneva, Switzerland. The company was initially known for manufacturing high-quality movements and supplying them to other watchmakers. However, in 1901, Alpina began producing its own watches, and the brand quickly gained a reputation for its precision and durability.

Throughout the 20th century, Alpina continued to innovate and develop new technologies, such as the "Block Uhr" system, which allowed pilots to synchronize their watches with radio time signals. The brand also became known for its sports watches, which were designed for activities such as diving, skiing, and mountaineering.

Today, Alpina is part of the Frederique Constant Group, and the brand continues to produce high-quality Swiss-made watches that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Alpina's collections include a range of sports watches, as well as dress watches and classic timepieces. The brand is also committed to sustainability and has introduced eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes in some of its models.
