Masterlink Gem-Set

The maison presents the Masterlink as the successor of the Sarawak, a single asymmetric integrated-bracelet piece Gérald Charles Genta designed in 2007 for the royal family of Sarawak, Malaysia, with a pavé-set case and bracelet in round diamonds and baguette rubies. The Masterlink case derives from the Maestro, built on a square where the Maestro is built on a rectangle, and the Gem-Set is the first gem-set edition in the Masterlink line.
