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.

Pequignet

Pequignet was founded in 1973 by Émile Pequignet in Morteau, a French town nestled in the mountains near the Swiss border. A self-taught visionary, Émile Pequignet established the brand with the ambition to create distinctive timepieces that honor French heritage and craftsmanship.

The brand quickly gained recognition. In the early 2000s, Pequignet embarked on an ambitious journey to become a fully integrated manufacture. By inaugurating its own Haute Horlogerie laboratory in 2008, the brand began designing and producing its movements entirely in-house. This dedication led to the introduction of the Calibre Royal in 2011, followed by the Calibre Initial in 2021.
