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.

KOLLOKIUM

Kollokium was founded in 2020 by three friends. After having collectively spent a lifetime contributing to the creations of numerous watch brands, Manuel Emch, Barth Nussbaumer and Amr Sindi’s mutual desire to build something from scratch became too strong to ignore. To create with no established or inherited framework. No existing brand, no defined artistic direction, no rehashed history, no constraints. The freedom to truly, fully manifest objects they envision without the compromises of structure. Positioned as a creative venture rather than a conventional brand, this eclectic approach mirrors its founders, all industry insiders hailing from various realms of watchmaking. Manuel Emch, a seasoned manager currently heading Louis Erard and Raketa, is equally renowned for his leadership roles at Jaquet Droz, where he became the youngest CEO in the Swatch Group at that time, and RJ-Romain Jerome. Barth Nussbaumer, a versatile designer with a diverse portfolio spanning from TAG Heuer to Petermann-Bedat, contributes his creative expertise. Amr Sindi, recognized as The Horophile, serves as an influencer and media consultant, adding a unique perspective to the team.
