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.

Safety roller

Safety roller

A crucial component that prevents the escapement from unlocking accidentally when the watch experiences sudden shocks or forces while the impulse jewel is disengaged from the pallet fork. It acts as a protective mechanism, ensuring that the escapement remains locked even during unexpected impacts, thereby preserving the watch's accuracy and reliability. By preventing premature unlocking, the safety roller contributes to the stable and precise movement of the watch's hands, maintaining its overall timekeeping performance.
