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.

Unidirectional rotating bezel

Unidirectional rotating bezel

Is an essential feature found in dive watches, serving as an external ring that can only be turned in one direction, typically counter-clockwise.

Its primary purpose is to prevent accidental rotation in the wrong direction, thus ensuring the safety and accuracy of time measurements during diving or other activities. The bezel is specifically designed to track elapsed time or measure specific intervals, with markings or numerals indicating minutes or other units of time. This functionality allows divers to easily monitor their remaining dive time and prevent potential risks associated with prolonged underwater stays.
