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.

Cathedral hands

Cathedral hands are a type of hour and minute hand in watches, characterized by a complex design with a sharp point and a broader, ornate base that resembles a cathedral tower. These hands are generally associated with classic or vintage watch designs and are appreciated for their elegant and sophisticated appearance. The shape of cathedral hands is inspired by the intricate architectural details of cathedrals. Cathedral hands are typically found in mechanical watches, which are powered by gears and springs, showcasing the traditional craftsmanship of watchmaking.
