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.

Hautlence

HAUTLENCE is a prestigious Swiss luxury watch brand that was founded in Neuchâtel in 2004. Its name, "Hautlence," is an anagram of "Neuchatel," paying homage to its Swiss roots. The brand was established by Renaud de Retz, Guillaume Tetu, Jean Plazenet, Jean-Christophe Chopin, and Alain de Forges, who had previously gained valuable experience at renowned watch companies like Longines, Jaeger-LeCoultre, LVMH, and TAG Heuer.

In its early days, HAUTLENCE utilized the ETA Peseux 7001 movement in its first models. However, the brand soon evolved and now incorporates its own movement constructions tailored to the specific design elements of their watches.

The brand is known for producing timepieces with unique and artistic displays of time, challenging conventional methods of timekeeping. Their cases are designed with dimensions inspired by the television screen, adding to the distinctiveness of their timepieces.
