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.

Anti-magnetic

Anti-magnetic

Is a feature or characteristic of a watch that allows it to resist or minimize the effects of magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can interfere with the proper functioning of a watch movement, causing inaccuracies in timekeeping. An anti-magnetic watch is designed with materials and components that are not easily affected by magnetic fields. It may include the use of anti-magnetic alloys, such as certain types of steel or non-ferrous materials, as well as additional shielding or protection measures. The purpose of an anti-magnetic watch is to maintain accurate timekeeping even when exposed to magnetic fields commonly encountered in daily life, such as those generated by electronic devices or magnetic closures.
