Perrelet as the inventor of the automatic movement in 1777 is best known to watch connoisseurs the world over by its “mechanical prowess”. Automatic movements have always featured in all Perrelets including the entire ladies’ range. Particularly with ladies’ automatic watches Perrelet always believed that they are well suited for today’s active women. After all, the automatic timepiece tells the time and the active woman enables the watch to keep time. A perfectly symbiotic relationship!
Perrelet has now created what can justly be called a new category of ladies’ watches by bringing together two previously distinct watch universes, i.e. that of Jewellery and that of Mechanical watchmaking. The raison d’être of jewellery has always been purely esthetical. Now Perrelet has added an additional feature - Jewellery has virtually been put in motion to fulfil a mechanical purpose. The new Time Equation goes as follows:
Functional Jewellery + Mechanical Watchmaking = “Joaillerie Horlogère”
Perrelet’s new Diamond Flower Collection qualifies as first of its kind for this new category. The Diamond Flower shaped piece of jewellery set on the dial is not only an eye catcher but rotates with the motion of its wearer and thus helps to wind the underlying automatic movement. This beautiful union is only made possible by using Perrelet’s exclusive Double Rotor calibre. Both perfectly synchronized rotors (one on the back and one the dial) provide ample power to store the motions of its wearer in the mainspring.
