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.

Marcasite

Marcasite

Is a mineral known as iron sulfide (FeS2) that is commonly used as gemstones or decorative materials to adorn the case or dial of a watch. It is often cut and polished into small faceted stones, serving as substitutes for genuine gemstones because the latter are relatively brittle and not commonly used in watch manufacturing. These marcasite stones add a touch of sparkle and ornamental value to the watch design.
