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.

Montblanc

Montblanc is widely recognized as a prestigious manufacturer of luxury fountain pens. However, it has also established itself as a renowned watchmaker, known for crafting timepieces with complex mechanisms and in-house-built engines. The brand's history dates back to 1906 when it was founded, adopting its iconic snow-capped logo with six tongues, symbolizing the glaciers found on the famous mountain.

In 1997, Montblanc ventured into the watch industry, expanding its horological offerings while maintaining the aesthetics and sophistication synonymous with their pens. The TimeWalker Collection, launched to cater to a younger audience, exemplified the brand's seamless transition into watchmaking.

Notably, in 2006, Montblanc acquired Minerva, a renowned manufacturer of chronographs, which became a subsidiary of the brand. This integration allowed Montblanc to leverage Minerva's rich heritage and expertise in watchmaking, incorporating it into their timepiece designs.
