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.

Flinqué

Flinqué is a term used to describe the intricate art of creating geometric patterns on a watch dial using the guilloché technique. The guilloché technique involves engraving precise and repetitive patterns on the dial's surface. Once the patterns are engraved, the dial is coated with enamel, adding a layer of vibrant colors and depth to the design. Combining guilloché engraving with enamel coating requires exceptional skill and craftsmanship, as it involves mastering two complex artistic forms.
