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.

Round Cut

Round Cut

It is a type of cutting used for gemstones, characterized by a circular shape. It is one of the most popular gemstone cuts and is known for its symmetrical design, consisting of 57 or 58 facets. These facets work to reflect light, creating a brilliant effect that catches the eye.

The round cut is chosen because it gives the gemstone a classic and sophisticated look in a watch. Additionally, the round shape is versatile and complements various styles and designs of watches, making it a common choice among manufacturers and consumers.
