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.

Pivots

Pivots

Pivots are small cylindrical components that serve as bearings or shafts for the rotating elements in a watch movement. They are typically manufactured from durable materials such as steel or precious metals to withstand continuous friction and wear in the watch's mechanism. Pivots play a crucial role in facilitating smooth performance of gears, wheels, and levers within the movement by providing a stable and low-friction rotation point.
