I am a watch man. I don’t know when or why my fascination with watches started, but I love exquisite timepieces. Powerful, bold, and unique timepieces are my obsession and I have found the “Ark of the Covenant” so to speak. Imagine a watch with precision, elegance, machismo, and an ability to captivate immediately. The Perrelet TURBINE is that watch. Gentleman, your attention please…Perrelet, specialising in the creation of energy through movement since 1777, was impressed by the power of the propulsion of aeroplanes, generated by its key element, the gas turbine. Focusing on this external component, an ingenious rotating device exploiting the force of the air, Perrelet has established a clear connection with its double rotor and the launch of its new collection: TURBINE.
The new TURBINE models are exclusively equipped with the Perrelet P-181 automatic Double Rotor movement. The exceptional design of this collection could have come from the drawing board of a reactor engine designer or a state of the art technology research office. In fact, the TURBINE came to life from the drawings and technical research of our watchmaking engineers, who have defied the laws of gravity.
The double rotor, transformed for the occasion into a turbine fitted with 12 blades made of titanium, covers the whole of the dial and slips beneath an interior black raised area, showing luminous numbers. On the under dial, luminous markers accentuate the optical effect and make the impact of this model all the more sensational.
Respecting the specifications of a fuselage and its aerodynamics, the turbine is housed in a 44mm concave-shaped case, perfectly recreating the original appearance of the reactor. Even the crown, specially worked and integrated in the case, respects these perfect lines. Its functionality is assured by a latch which in the open position allows winding and resetting. On the reverse side, a sapphire crystal reveals the black lacquered bridges, angled and polished. The oscillating weight, whose design is particularly inspired by the aeronautical sector, exhibits the same quality of finish. A black rubber bracelet with its folding clasp completes the ensemble, ensuring its owner complete comfort.
What A Rush. All I need is the Ray-Ban Aviators and you can call me “Maverick”
