The people at Perrelet are at it again, dancing the complication jig. This new Perrelet Regulator Retrograde watch mixes a few complications in a way that (to my knowledge) hasn’t been done before. You have a retrograde hour display, regulator style separation between the hours, minutes, and seconds (that occupies the main dial), and a periphery style date display. The balance of the elements is quite good. Plus, there is likely to one one (or two) people in the world who have been dreaming for a watch that combines all these complications together.
So if no one has been clamoring for a watch like this, what is the point? Well, to look cool. Watches with various different hands and types of dials are visually fascinating. People will look at the piece and ask “what exactly is going on there?” You can see how Perrelet Watches Uk Replica split the watch in to two personalities (as is typical for them to do these days). There is the slightly larger sporty model in titanium that is 43.5mm wide, and a more formal version that is 42mm wide in a steel or gold case that is slightly more dressy in fashion. The watches have sapphire crystals and are water resistant to 100 meters (in titanium) and 50 meters (in steel or gold).
Perrelet has succeeding in giving the watch a sort of art meets gadget look. I think that will appeal to enough people. A watch like this is also good for turning heads, asking people to check out what Perrelet has been up to. Powering the watch is their P-221 movement which is exclusive to Perrelet. The movement is an automatic with an exhibition caseback with a view to it on the back of the case. To change the date you need to press a small pusher on the side of the case.
The steel model (ref. A1041/4) has a silvered dial and also comes with a black dial. It is matched to a black alligator strap and will retail for $8,275. The same model in gold (Ref A3014/5) will also have gold on the dial and retail for $20,250. In sporty titanium the watch has a different look and a rubber strap with a retail price of $9,200. Look for them soon.

The Perrelet Watches History Replica Turbine Chronograph was declared over a month before Baselworld and we got the chance to see this interesting and lively opinion in person while in Switzerland for the month’s show. Based on a brand new exclusive chronograph movement, the Turbine Chrono offers an interesting 60 minute chronograph enroll using a translucent center-mounted rotating dial that allows a full view of this signature spinning dial.I enjoy an advanced chronograph screen, so whether it’s a center chronograph minutes a rotating sapphire minutes counter, I am always interested when a chronograph cannot be described as being bi-compax or tri-compax. The Perrelet Turbine Chrono is a big and very modern watch, available in five versions and measuring 47 x 16 mm. As a result of the rubber strap, the Turbine Chrono feels light enough for daily wear and, while distinctive and brash, the majority of the models aren’t especially flashy with restricted polished components and the option of a darker tone turbine.Perrelet’s Turbine design has always been about movement and activity that promotes a truly distinctive wrist existence. The dial has two degrees, a backdrop and a spinning “toaster” disc that reacts to the subtle movement of lifting your wrist to confirm the moment. That motion strikes the turbine into actions and it spins, like propelled by a jet engine. I’d seen this on the original Turbine pieces and the manner that Perrelet has preserved this cool layout when incorporating a chronograph is truly fantastic.In the space between the hand placed along with the spinning turbine element, there is a transparent two-piece sapphire dial, comprised of a middle and an outer ring. When the chronograph is started, the center sapphire disk begins to slowly rotate, showing the chronograph minutes in a discreet but legible fashion. You’ve got to appreciate a chronograph that’s implemented with no clutter and small sub-dials normally associated with such a complication. Along with the chronograph, there is also a date display at six that can be looked at from the spaces between the turbine blades.
