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.

Rhodium Plating

Rhodium Plating

It is a process that involves applying a thin layer of rhodium metal onto the surface of watch components. Rhodium is known for its silver color, high luster, durability, and resistance to corrosion. It is coated onto the components to enhance the appearance of the watch and also provides a protective layer that shields the underlying metal from corrosion and scratches. Rhodium plating is commonly used in luxury watches to enhance their aesthetic appeal.
