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.

Baton hands

Baton hands

A type of watch hands that are characterized by their rectangular shape and straight sides. They are named "baton" because their shape resembles a small baton used as a musical conductor's tool. There are different variations of baton hands, including slim baton hands and broad baton hands.

Baton hands are commonly used in modern and contemporary watch designs, and they can be found in both formal and sports watches. Due to their simplicity, baton hands are known for their clear visibility, allowing the wearer to easily read the time.
