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.

Subdial

Subdial

It is a small dial located within the main dial of a watch that serves a specific function or displays additional information. It is typically used to indicate a variety of complications or additional features in a watch, such as chronograph (stopwatch) measurement, date, day of the week, moon phase, power reserve, or other specialized functions.

The subdial may feature a set of hands, markers, or specific scales to provide the desired information or perform specific timing functions. It adds functional and aesthetic value to the design of the watch.
