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.

Minute repeater

Minute repeater

Is a complication found in some watches that allows the wearer to audibly tell the time by activating a mechanism that chimes in harmony with the hours, quarters, and minutes. When the user activates the minute repeater function, small hammers strike tuned gongs to produce different tones representing the time. The number of strikes on the gongs corresponds to the hours, quarters, and minutes.
