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.

Sapphire

Sapphire, also known as blue sapphire, is a precious gemstone commonly used in watchmaking due to its durability, hardness, and enchanting appearance. It is distinguished by its rich blue color, although it can be found in other colors such as pink, yellow, and green. Sapphire is highly valued for its scratch resistance, making it an ideal material for the glass crystals used in watchmaking. These crystals protect the watch face, providing clarity and transparency for easy time reading.
