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.

Annual Calendar

A complication that, at the very least, showcases the date, day, and month.

The annual calendar complication keeps track of the date, day of the week, and month, while automatically adjusting for the varying number of days in each month, except for February. This means that the watch only needs manual adjustment once a year at the end of February, to account for the difference between 28 or 29 days (in case of a leap year).
