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.

Carbonado

Carbonado, also known as the "Black Diamond" or "Carbonado Diamond," is a unique type of diamond with a distinctive structure and appearance. It is characterized by a polycrystalline structure made up of numerous small diamond crystals fused together. Typically, carbonado is black or dark gray in color and is known for its rough, uneven surface.

In the watch industry, carbonado is used as a material for watch dials, cases, and bracelets. Its incorporation into watchmaking adds a unique and contemporary touch.
