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.

bearing

bearing

Is the component that supports the rotating parts and reduces friction within the watch movement. Bearings are usually made from high-carbon or stainless steel due to its durability and strength.

They are used in the watch movement to provide smooth and precise rotation for the gears, wheels, and other moving parts. The bearings are strategically placed at specific points within the watch movement to ensure stability, minimize wear, and ensure accurate timekeeping.
