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.

Pear cut

Pear cut

It is a type of cut that is represented by diamond or gemstone cuts in a shape resembling an almond (almond-shaped). This shape is characterized by a wide base and a sharp front tip, making it ideal for setting gemstones in watches

Components of the watch, such as the dial, bezel, and bracelet, can be adorned with this type of cut. Gemstones cut in an almond shape are perfect for adding brilliance and sparkle to a wristwatch. Other gemstones, such as emerald, ruby, or sapphire, can also be used in an almond shape.
