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.

Dividing head

A dividing head or division plate is a disc or plate that contains a series of evenly spaced holes or notches that correspond to specific divisions of time, such as minutes or seconds. It is typically used in conjunction with other tools and machinery in watchmaking to accurately set and adjust the timing functions of the watch. By aligning the appropriate hole or notch with a reference point, watchmakers can ensure precise division and synchronization of the watch's timing mechanism, allowing for accurate measurement and display of time.
