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.

monopusher

A chronograph monopusher, also called a single-button chronograph, is a specialized type of watch with a single button to control its stopwatch function, offering simplicity and elegance in design. Often sought after for their historical significance and streamlined appeal.

Modern chronograph watches as we know them today, have two buttons: one above the crown and one below the crown. you will press the top button to start and stop the chronograph timing mechanism, then press the bottom button to reset it.

For monopusher watches, there is only a single pusher used to operate the chronograph function. This button can be found above or below the crown, but is also sometimes built into the crown, allowing for a chronograph with a seemingly buttonless case design.
