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.

Horology

Also known as the study of watches, is a field that encompasses the principles and techniques related to the design and production of watches. It involves the study of the history of watches, the mechanical mechanisms used in watch movements, the designs of dials, hands, and cases, the materials used in watchmaking, and the skills and techniques involved in assembling and maintaining watches.

The aim of horology is to understand the functioning of watches and to develop them, achieving accuracy and reliability in timekeeping, and creating unique designs. Overall, horology covers all aspects of watch manufacturing and operation, encompassing technical, historical, and cultural aspects.
