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.

Glossary

GMT

A GMT watch is a timepiece designed to display multiple time zones simultaneously, typically focusing on a primary local time and a secondary reference time. Its defining feature is an additional hand, often brightly colored for visibility, that indicates the time in a second time zone.

Additionally, it comes with a 24-hour bezel or scale, which allows users to easily differentiate between day and night in the reference time. In some models, the bezel can be rotated to track a third time zone, making GMT watches a versatile and practical choice for frequent travelers.
