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.

micron

the micron is a unit of measurement that is commonly used to express extremely small distances or dimensions. It is a metric unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter (1 μm or 1/1,000,000 meter). Watchmakers often use microns to specify the thickness of components, such as watch hands, dials, or even the case itself. The micron measurement allows for precise quantification of fine details and dimensions in the manufacturing and assembly of watches, ensuring accuracy and quality in the final product.
