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.

The world time complication is a feature that displays the time in different time zones, usually through a subsidiary dial surrounding the main dial. These time zones typically cover 24 cities, often chosen for their political or economic significance prior to the introduction of world time.

Complicated world time watches typically have an inner rotating or fixed bezel that bears the names of different cities or time zones. The inner bezel can be adjusted to align with the desired time zone, thus displaying the corresponding time in that area.
