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.

Railroad watch

Is a type of watch specifically designed for railroad workers and engineers. It is a high-precision and reliable timepiece that meets the stringent standards set by railroad authorities. These watches were used to ensure the safety and efficiency of operations and procedures in train stations and on railroads, as well as to prevent accidents and collisions by providing accurate timekeeping.

Railroad watches are characterized by high-quality movements and clear dials. They must comply with strict accuracy standards, which were first established in 1893 and have evolved over the decades with technological advancements.
