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.

Quartz Movement

Quartz Movement

It is a type of watch movement that uses quartz to move the watch hands and operate its functions. The quartz movement consists of a combination of electronic and mechanical components that work together to achieve high accuracy in timekeeping.

In quartz movement, a quartz crystal is used as a timing device. When the crystal is subjected to an electric current, a constant electrical pulse is generated at a specific frequency. These electrical pulses are converted into a precise signal used to move the watch hands and display the time.

Quartz movement is known for its high accuracy, as it is regulated by the steady frequency of the quartz crystal. It is also stable and reliable, allowing for time reading with accuracy up to a few seconds. This makes it a popular choice for precise and reliable watches.
