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.

Hesalite

Hesalite is a type of plastic or acrylic material commonly used as a crystal on watches. It offers several advantages, including better resistance to impact and fewer visible scratches compared to other materials like sapphire crystal. Hesalite also has a characteristic domed shape that provides a vintage aesthetic. It was notably used on the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.
