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.

METAS

Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology
It is an independent organization responsible for testing and certifying the accuracy, precision and quality of mechanical watches. This organization cooperates with watch manufacturers to conduct rigorous testing on watches to ensure they meet the Master Chronograph standards. Watches with the Master Chronograph certificate have been subjected to a series of tests, including an accuracy test by the Swiss Institute (COSC), followed by eight additional tests by METAS, the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology. These tests evaluate various aspects such as accuracy Timekeeping, resistance to magnetic fields, water resistance and durability. The certification denotes exceptional performance and quality, and watches that pass these tests receive a 5-year warranty.
