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.

Zinc

Zinc

It is a chemical element known for its anti-corrosion properties and resistance to oxidation. It is a shiny white metal that is used in combination with other metals such as copper, aluminum, and steel to create watch components. These alloys provide strength and durability to the watch and help protect it from corrosion and tarnish.

Additionally, zinc is used in some internal parts of mechanical watches to protect them from corrosion, ensuring smooth operation of the movement.
