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.

Snap closure

It Is a safe and fast locking mechanism used during watch case assembly. This mechanism allows for the swift reattachment of the watch case back through a sudden or rapid movement. The snap closure mechanism typically includes a small latch or hinge loaded with a spring to facilitate the attachment and detachment of the case back. By applying gentle pressure and utilizing a sudden motion, the latch or hinge securely closes the case. This mechanism enables easy access to the watch movement for maintenance or battery replacement while maintaining the elegant and streamlined appearance of the watch case.
