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.

Labradorite

Labradorite

A mineral belonging to the calcium-rich "feldspar" group, commonly found in igneous rocks. This mineral is known for its vibrant display of colors, which is a result of its internal fractures. This phenomenon, referred to as "labradorescence," gives the impression that the stone is playing with an array of colors as light reflects back and forth within it. Labradorite possesses a triclinic crystal system and has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively durable.
