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.

Tonneau

Is a watch case design that features a distinctive barrel or elongated rectangular shape with curved sides. It is characterized by its curved profile, which provides a unique and elegant aesthetic. The term "tonneau" is derived from the French word for "barrel," reflecting the shape of the case. Tonneau cases are often associated with vintage and luxury watches, and they offer a stylish alternative to traditional round or square case designs.
