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.

Mother of Pearl

Mother of Pearl

Mother-of-pearl, also known as nacre, is a composite material produced by certain freshwater mollusks as a thin layer or natural coating inside their shells. It is considered a precious and beautiful material.

Mother-of-pearl is used in watchmaking to decorate the watch dial, as well as other elements of the watch. It has a unique and multi-colored light effect, characterized by a pearlescent glow that changes with the angle of illumination and viewing, creating a distinctive and wonderful visual effect. Mother-of-pearl adds an elegant and feminine touch to watches and imparts a unique shine and beauty to the overall appearance of the watch.
