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.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

An LCD screen is a digital display used to show the time, functions, and other information on a watch using segmented numbers or a combination of numbers and alphabetic characters. These screens are made of liquid crystal material that alters its light-transmitting properties when an electric current is applied, resulting in the display of information.

Typically, the screen is backlit, allowing for easy readability in low-light or dark conditions. LCD screens are known for their energy efficiency, consuming lower power in general, which helps to increase the battery life of the watch.
