Masterlink Atelier Edition
Gerald Charles has introduced three new references of its Masterlink model, distinguished by hand-hammered dials made from Maillechort. This artisanal technique results in a unique texture on each dial, available in rose gold, yellow gold, and rhodium finishes. The watch retains the existing Masterlink case and bracelet design, featuring an ultra-thin automatic movement.

The key distinguishing feature of this new release is the hand-hammered dial, made from Maillechort, a soft but physically stable material.
The Maillechort dials are hand-hammered, a demanding process resulting in a dial that is unmistakably the result of an organic process.
The hand-hammered dials are a time-consuming process ensuring that every single dial carries the unrepeatable touch of the artisan.
The Masterlink Atelier Edition is based on a 2007 Gérald Genta design called the Sarawak, an integrated-bracelet watch previously unknown to the public.
The Masterlink Atelier Edition features an artisanal, hand-hammered dial made by artisans in the brand's Geneva atelier using maillechort.
Each dial is individually hammered by an artisan, with each strike creating a unique, squiggly dent.
The texture of the dial resembles waves or sand dunes, offering a constant interplay of light and shadow.
Maillechort, or German silver, is a tough alloy perfect for hand-hammering due to its density, creating a faceted, irregular texture.
