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.

Snowflake hands

The Snowflake hands refer to a distinctive style of watch hands known for their unique design resembling the shape of snowflakes. The most notable use of snowflake hands is associated with Tudor watches, particularly in their Black Bay and Pelagos models. These hands gained iconic status and were introduced in 1969, contributing to Tudor's recognizable aesthetic. The Tudor snowflake hands are characterized by their angular, blocky shape, which makes time reading clearer.
