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.

Holthinrichs

Holthinrichs Watches is a distinctive brand founded by Michiel Holthinrichs, who was raised in an environment filled with art and classic cars due to his parents' backgrounds as an artist and an automotive engineer. This upbringing nurtured his strong imagination and passion for design, craftsmanship, and technical excellence. The brand embodies a unique fusion of influences, drawing inspiration from various artistic movements and renowned architects and designers.

The design philosophy of Holthinrichs Watches takes inspiration from Art Nouveau's elegant and three-dimensional shapes, Art Deco's clear lines and materialistic expression, and the principles of early modernism. This amalgamation of styles results in watches that showcase a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality.

Notable architects and designers like Victor Horta, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Eero Saarinen, Santiago Calatrava, and car designer Battista Farina have left their mark on the brand's creations. Their influence is evident in the watches' holistic approach to design, spatial composition, and refined lines.

One of the standout features of Holthinrichs Watches is the meticulous attention to detail and artistic expression found in the ornaments adorning the timepieces. Each watch is thoughtfully named after its ornamental design, representing a powerful expression of sophistication and cultivated taste.
