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.

Flange

Flange

Is the edge that separates the dial and the front crystal of the watch, surrounding the dial's edge, and may contain a series of notches or teeth that align with the watch crystal to secure it in place.

The flange may include additional information or markings related to the watch's functions, such as scales for measuring speed, distance, or heart rate. The flange can come in a simple design or be adorned with various patterns and engravings.
