The Movement of Perrelet Watches

All Perrelet watches are equipped with automatic movements. This is the principle to which the brand has remained steadfastly attached for over 200 years, in tribute to Abraham-Louis Perrelet and his invention in 1777. Its various calibers, entirely crafted, decorated, adjusted and assembled inside its own workshops, push the limits of precision and technical refinement. Whether a traditional automatic caliber, a patented double rotor movement, or a tourbillon, the brand offers a broad and rich choice of possibilities and compositions. They are all equally captivating and fascinating, capable of satisfying the expectations of the most discerning connoisseurs.
 
Perrelet Turbine Concept

A fascinating interpretation of the “double rotor” concept, the Turbine has, since 2009, rapidly become the iconic Perrelet model. The collection is the ultimate embodiment of creativity and naturally appeals to fans of innovative horology. Turbine timepieces offer a range of optical and visual effects that are unique in the watchmaking world, thanks to the ingenious combination of a free-spinning propeller-type upper rotor, rotating at full speed in step with wrist movements, and an under-dial on which designers can give free rein to their imagination. Building on a unique, emblematic and instantly recognisable design, the Turbine collection takes on a variety of faces in both masculine and feminine versions.
