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.

Vermeil

Vermeil

A process or technique that involves coating a base metal, typically sterling silver, with a thick layer of gold using electroplating. The gold layer in vermeil is usually thicker than regular gold plating and is typically of a reddish hue (often 19-karat gold, containing 80% yellow gold and 20% other precious metals). This results in a more durable finish with an appearance resembling that of pure gold.
