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.

Numerals Types

Arabic Numerals: They are the most commonly used numbers on the dials of watches. They consist of the numbers from 0 to 9. Arabic numerals are used to indicate the hours on analog watch dials, and they can also be used for minutes, seconds, or other time-related indicators.

The Eastern Arabic numerals or the Indian numerals: These include the numbers (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9) and are used in conjunction with the Arabic alphabet in Arab-speaking countries in the Middle East.

Roman Numerals:

They are a numeral system that uses Latin letters to represent numbers: (I-1, II-2, III-3, IV-4, V-5, VI-6, VII-7, VIII-8, IX-9, X-10, XI-11, XII-12). They have a distinctive and elegant appearance and are commonly found in classic or vintage watches. Roman numerals can be used to indicate the hours and sometimes the minutes on watch dials.
