THE MAISON PERRELET'S PASSION FOR POKER RETURNS WITH THE NEW “TURBINE POKER ROYAL FLUSH”.
AN EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION DEDICATED TO CARD GAME ENTHUSIASTS.

Multiple iterations of Turbine Poker have always met with immediate success. For 2024, Perrelet is offering a new edition dedicated to green table enthusiasts: the “Turbine Poker Royal Flush”, in a limited series of 99. An ideal sequel to the previous models, the new watch completes the 4-suit deck with a winning hand.

And it once again demonstrates the never-ending imagination and the courage to dare with unconventional style of the Manufacture founded in 1777, capable of creating ever-changing themes for the sub-dial of the Turbine collections.

The Turbine: the uniqueness of an iconic device

 

Patented in 2009, the Turbine technology, from which the collection takes its name, is clearly inspired by aircraft and marine propulsion systems.Its aeronautical origin is the reason behind its complex structure and difficult assembly.

The spinning turbine consists of 12 black anodised aluminium blades that are light but sturdy. Five counterweights made of a heavy metal, tungsten, are fixed underneath.The specific construction allows the blades to come into action at the slightest movement of the wrist and to return to their resting position when the gesture is completed, with a pleasantly playful effect.

Despite its purely decorative value, the assembly of this device requires perfectly balanced and calibrated components to function smoothly. A delicate operation, requiring care and skill, which once again confirms the savoir-faire of the Manufacture's master watchmakers. The perpetual, hypnotic rotation of the turbine, the essence of the collection and a Perrelet icon over the years, comes to life on the dial thanks to their excellent skills.

The new Turbine Poker Royal Flush

 

Like every model in the family, the Turbine Poker Royal Flush's spinning turbine reveals the motif depicted on the lower dial: the faster the rotation, the clearer the illustration on the sub-dial.

In this latest creation from the Maison, there are 12 cards to admire: a double royal flush with a pair of sevens. Like an expert dealer, Perrelet dealt the cards in the pot by selecting diamonds and clubs, complementary suits to the previous Turbine Poker edition: an incredible hand of double aces, kings, queens, jacks, 10s and 7s, red and black.

Further references to the cards are visible on the characteristic hour track: the symbols of the four suits and figures stand out in red and white on a black background, alternating with the Arabic numerals and indices. The latter are clearly visible in all lighting conditions thanks to Super-LumiNova, which also illuminates the hands.The thin seconds hand is in bright red to match the tones of the dial.

An exclusive design

 

The “Turbine Poker Royal Flush” features a 44mm case with a central body in polycarbonate and carbonfiber decorated with its distinctive grooves. The flat, smooth bezel and caseback are in matt black PVD stainless steel. The crown is personalised by the letter P of the logo. This design echoes that of the second generation of the Turbine line, first introduced with the Turbine EVO models on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the turbine technology in 2019.

Water-resistant to 10 atmospheres, the watch is suitable for everyday use, withstanding wet conditions and splashes. The dial is protected by a double anti-reflective sapphire crystal, which is also mounted on the rear of the watch. The timepiece is completed with a black leather strap with alligator pattern lined with rubber and fastened to the wrist with a personalised folding clasp.

Delivered in a special "tactical box", it includes a second black rubber strap for more casual looks and a fastening tool for self-replacement.

The in-house manufacture movement

 

The “Turbine Poker Royal Flush” is equipped with the in-house automatic P-331-MH calibre, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and providing a 42-hour power reserve.
It is manufactured by Soprod, a company belonging to Miguel Rodriguez, also the owner and president of Perrelet, which is part of a watchmaking pole comprising no less than six facilities capable of producing their own calibres in complete autonomy.

LOUIS ERARD X ALAIN SILBERSTEIN – Le Regulateur Tourbillon Black Edition

 

Louis Erard – EXCELLENCE Le Régulateur Louis Erard x ALAIN SILBERSTEIN Edition 2024

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Le Régulateur Tourbillon Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein Black unveils a new collaboration between the watch brand and the designer, who have been working together since 2019. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The tourbillon, the pinnacle of the art of watchmaking, the pinnacle of Alain Silberstein's thinking, has never before been offered as a single piece - only in a triptych. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Nor on a black background, that color which is not one, but on which all the others are revealed. A syncretic, mythical piece. Limited edition to 78 pieces.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Black is not a color. It's better. It's a revealer. The background on which colors unfold all their expressive potential. Black is the expressway to reach the essential, the reading of time, of times. There are infinite ways to play with these elements. Alain Silberstein has his own. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Throughout his career of over 35 years, he has explored all possibilities, even to the point of creating his own color ranges. But his roots are in the essential, the basic spectrum, blue, red, yellow, on a black background. The brand image of Alain Silberstein, for a long time, since his early Bauhaus-inspired creations in the 1990s.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The tourbillon, the gravity hunter that Breguet has given to the watchmaking heritage, is not just an ingenious mechanism. The tourbillon is life. It's the mechanism that expresses time that never stands still. Time that escapes convention. Time that is neither social nor technical, that escapes and flows. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Time that is not shared, but that is lived. Obviously, all this is a bit conceptual and philosophical. You need to take a step back and look at it from a height to be able to appreciate it. But once you've taken that approach, the watch takes on a whole new dimension. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Time gains in depth, as does the timepiece, opened at six o'clock, to let the tourbillon breathe and appreciate the mechanics beneath the bodywork. Alain Silberstein. His dada has always been to make watches that express this complexity, that reveal time in all its dimensions.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Alain Silberstein had not had the opportunity to create a timepiece equipped with a tourbillon for over a decade. His friendship with Manuel Emch, CEO and Artistic Director of Louis Erard, made this return possible. With the complicity of a third inspiration: 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The renowned watchmaker Olivier Mory, a figure of contemporary mechanical creativity. A few years ago, he revolutionized the art of the tourbillon by creating a customizable, affordable, yet totally Swiss made movement, made entirely within a few kilometers of his workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the heart of Swiss watchmaking country.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Manuel Emch acted as curator and orchestrated these talents. With the same objective: to do what Louis Erard has always done best, to make fine Swiss watchmaking accessible. As we now know, accessible fine watchmaking is not just a question of price, it's an art in itself. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The art of bringing together technique, aesthetics and watchmaking culture and to concentrate all these forces in an exclusive product. The Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein Régulateur Tourbillon Black houses a Swiss made tourbillon and is available in a limited edition of 78 pieces at an unbeatable price - even if it's not a fight with any of the competition, besides, how can you fight when you're alone in your category?

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Just a few more words. The manufacturer of the tourbillon, Olivier Mory, is a discreet but unique personality on the Swiss watchmaking scene. He trained at Sellita, before moving on to haute horlogerie at ValFleurier, where he bridged the gap between the two worlds, making the unattainable accessible. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The movement he developed for Louis Erard bears witness to his talent. The tourbillon is not traditionally coupled to the regulator - Louis Erard's signature since its creation in 1929 - even though both complications have the same origin: chronometry. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

All that was missing was a vision to bring the two worlds together, that of Manuel Emch, and a stage direction, left to Alain Silberstein. They have already cemented their complicity through numerous collaborations.

Once again, Louis Erard’s motto comes true: Together we’re always stronger.

ABOUT ALAIN SILBERSTEIN

“Real happiness is being passionate about one’s work.”

Alain Silberstein was born in 1950. He has had a rather unusual career, beginning as an interior architect and designer in Paris before becoming a watchmaker in Besançon, France, at the end of the 1980s, when he set up his own company. At a time when the disappearance of mechanical watchmaking seemed almost inevitable, he joined the narrow circle of Swiss watchmakers behind a renaissance in mechanical watches with innovative features.

His work pays tribute to the Bauhaus art movement, which traces its roots to Germany in 1919, and to major artists such as Gropius, Itten, Moholy-Nagy, Kandinsky, Klee, Albers, Bayer and Mies van der Rohe, all of whose works continue to influence graphic design, architecture and design in general.
Alain Silberstein has developed a unique style where the geometrical rigour of shapes and mechanical movements play mischievously with a rainbow of evocative colours and innovative materials. It is an artistic and playful approach to high-end watchmaking which sometimes surprises and often beguiles. It is the original approach of a watchmaker and artist who creates singular watches, taking on the challenge of offering a poetic approach to the passing of time and the emotions found in personal and shared times.
Every year for twenty-five years, Alain Silberstein designed and created around a thousand exceptional watches, all made in limited series and numbered, in his workshop at the heart of French-Swiss watchmaking country. Since the closure of his company in 2012, he has turned his talent to working with other watchmaking brands such as MB&F, Romain Jerome and now Louis Erard.
Alain Silberstein continues to explore a watchmaking universe which is somewhere between art and craft, where strict shapes, innovative materials and evocative colours harmoniously come together.

Vanguart unveils a new stunning Tourbillon watch: 'Vanguart Orb'
Automatic movement? Or Manual winding mode?

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The Vanguart Orb is an entirely new hand-finished flying Tourbillon movement that allows the user to alternative between automatic and manual modes.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

La Chaux-de-Fonds, March 27th, 2024 - Vanguart pioneers a distinctive vision within Haute Horlogerie, forging an unparalleled path in the domain of independent watchmaking. They explore new possibilities, bringing their distinct and cohesive designs and highly refined complex mechanisms to life through the combination of timeless technique, contemporary technology, and unique vision.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The Vanguart Orb introduces an entirely new hand-finished flying Tourbillon movement that allows the user to alternative between automatic and manual modes, all cased within a sleek symmetrical form that reaches beyond the contemporary and touches upon the uncharted. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Creative Director, Thierry Fischer describes the Orb as ‘a harmonious shape that evokes relics of the past and visions of the future’. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The unique case of the Vanguart Orb has been extensively hand-decorated throughout, including handcrafted angles, openings and symmetrical details that involve multiple techniques. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The combination of sandblasting, satin-finishing and mirror polishing results in a case that shares aesthetics and techniques with the movement that it protects inside its orbital form.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The theme of symmetry and balance is also central to the openworked movement design and open dial display.  Although the entire height of the watch is 10.5mm including the crystal, Vanguart takes full advantage of the volume within by creating layers of depth to be discovered.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The initial layer is the time display which is indicated by superluminova hands and a pvd-coated titanium inner bezel with superluminova hour markers. Immediately underneath the hands resides Vanguart’s automatic flying tourbillon at the 6 o’clock position and the winding barrel at the 12 o’clock position. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Bordering these elements is one of the most unique features of the Vanguart Orb - a sloped pvd-coated titanium track for the orbital oscillating mass. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

When the user changes the mode of the watch from manual to automatic via the crown, the 2mm diamond-set orbital mass animates into existence and begins revolving around its track - appearing to float within the timepiece. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

When the watch is changed back into manual mode, the diamond-set orbital mass is locked into place.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Vanguart’s mindset is woven throughout the brand’s current and future blueprint - technologically advanced, highly engaging, showcasing user interface, designed with beauty and hand-decorated throughout. CEO, Axel Leuenberger describes the development as follows, “For the Vanguart Orb we consciously took the time to refine every detail, seeking ideal symmetry and proportions throughout each element of the case, movement and dial display. Our ambition was to merge futuristic aspects with traditional finishes and techniques into a harmonious, coherent design. The automatic winding system with its orbital oscillating mass provides both tactile and visual ways to engage with the timepiece.”

Chairman, Mehmet Koruturk continues “Our new model, the Vanguart Orb, will help strengthen our position in the Haute Horlogerie segment by enriching our collection with a model that fuses elegance and futurism in a unique way. The Orb is an expression of our long-term vision and our commitment to develop exceptional creations that broaden the appreciation of modern watchmaking by introducing new possibilities”.
