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.

Montre de Souscription

Is a term used to describe the process of reserving or subscribing to a watch that has not yet been constructed.

Customers can make a down payment to secure their place in line and ensure they receive one of the limited number of watches once they are produced. It is believed that Abraham Louis Breguet was the first to introduce the concept of subscription watches. This approach allows watchmakers to gauge customer demand and plan their production accordingly, ensuring that the watches are pre-sold before they are even built.
