Perrelet 1777 – LIMITED EDITION TURBINE Splash Black 44mm Special Edition 2024

For its first appearance at Windup Watch Fair in Chicago, USA (2024), Perreletwill present an entirely new creation: the Turbine Splash. A limited edition watch with an artistic vocation, which is yet another demonstration of the boundless imagination of Perrelet's designers, capable of creating ever new models for the historic Manufacture's most emblematic collection.

Creativity in vivid colours

The Turbine Splash takes its name from the splashes of colour that characterise its lower dial. Irregular stains of fluo green, yellow, purple, fuchsia, light blue and orange stand out against a black background, recalling another Perrelet model: the 2022 Turbine Rainbow. Both recall Jackson Pollock's 'dripping' technique of the 1940s and 1950s. But while the sub-dial of Turbine Rainbow consists of small, round drops of paint that seem to fall casually from the great American painter's brush, Turbine Splash is reminiscent of his spectacular 'action painting' performances.

When the artist threw the paints onto the canvases, either from the tin or directly with his fingers, with impetuous and choreographic gestures, to create dynamic compositions with dense and complex colours that released a disruptive energy. Similarly, Perrelet's Turbine Splash, with its uninhibited use of colour, expresses a free and playful creativity, daring and totally original.

Innovative spirit

The Turbine Splash features a sub-dial dominated by the Turbine, whose rotation partly reveals and partly obscures the Pollock-like splashes of colour. As always, the famous device is made up of 12 blades that rotate around a central axis. When the watch is worn, they are activated with each wrist movement. As the turbine rotates, the empty spaces between the blades reveal the decorative image, which becomes clearly visible in proportion to the speed.

Conceived for purely decorative purposes and patented in 2009, the turbine nevertheless has a complex structure: the blades, made of black anodised aluminium, have five heavy tungsten micro-weights on the underside, which are necessary to ensure perfect balance. The assembly of the turbine therefore requires the utmost skill, so that the blades can rotate smoothly each time the gesture provides the energy to activate it.

Although it has no functional value, this sophisticated technology reveal snot only the skill and expertise of Perrelet's master watchmakers, but also the spirit of innovation that has always characterised the Manufacture. A legacy passed down from the very beginning by its founder, Abraham-Louis Perrelet, to whom we owe the invention of the winding rotor, also based on human kinetic energy, like the turbine.

Unique in the panorama of haute horlogerie, the turbine has become a true icon of the Manufacture.

Customised aesthetics

To enhance the chromatic effects of the sub-dial, the Turbine Splash adopts ablack look. The design echoes that of the Turbine EVO, which entered the catalogue in 2019 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Turbine technology, renewingthe line.

The round case, measuring 44 mm in diameter and water resistant to 10 ATM, is incredibly comfortable on the wrist thanks to its ultra-light high-tech materials: polycarbonate and forged carbon fibre. Its hardness makes it resistant to impact, scratches and chemicals: qualities that make it almost immune to time. Thanks to its thermal insulation properties, the carbon fibre also protects the movement from temperature variations. While the flat bezel is in black PVD steel, the case middle in carbon fibre is decorated with the characteristic vertical grooves, on which the easy-to-grip, personalised crown, stands out.

The large dagger-shaped hands coated with white luminescent material ensure excellent legibility of the hours, while the red central seconds hand stands out against the turbine background. A further touch of colour comes from the outlines of the baton indices in the same shades as the lower dial (neon green, yellow, purple, fuchsia, light blue, orange), which contrast with the hour track. For this model, Perrelet uses tritium indices (T25) which are encapsulated in borosilicate tubes in the form of gas. Inside is a phosphor layer which, when activated by tritium electrons, emits a sharp, long-lasting glow.

The Dial Artist

Chris Alexander, known as The Dial Artist, is a British artist who combines urban art, pop culture, astrology and abstract expressionism in his customized watch dials.

Chris has established himself in the global watch community for his abstract dials adorned with bursts of colour. Utilising the dial as a canvas, his highly sought-after style blurs the lines between contemporary art and horology whilst inadvertently creating a constant moving gallery of his work - art that moves you and moves with you. 

Powerful and reliable mechanics

Turbine Splash is powered by the P-331-MH calibre, a renowned Manufacture self-winding movement, accurate and reliable, as certified by the COSC and Chronofiable®, having passed the rigorous tests that these two independent institutes subjected it to.

Equipped with a 42-hour power reserve and beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it is impeccably decorated and can be admired through the sapphire crystal porthole set in the black PVD steel case-back ring: from the circular-grained bridges to the rhodium-plated, openworked oscillating weight, mounted on ball bearings and adorned with the Maison's logo.

Limited availability

Turbine Splash is available from 12th July at selected retailers worldwide. In addition, customers living in Europe or the USA can purchase it via the Maison's official E-commerce.

This model is fastened to the wrist with a black alligator-pattern leather strap with a folding clasp. It comes in a dedicated tactical box, which includes an extra black rubber strap and a fastening tool.

 Exclusively limited to 99 pieces, it is expected to become an object of desire for the most discerning collectors.

Perrelet 1777 – Turbine SPECIAL "Turbine Poker Royal Flush" Black Edition - 2024

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

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. 

 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

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.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

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.

Perrelet – TURBINE Erotic Edition

 

Perrelet 1777 – SPECIALITIES "TURBINE Erotic" 44mm Special Edition 2022 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Perrelet's iconic Turbine line offers the possibility of reinventing itself whenever desired thanks to its great versatility. It is no secret that the two key aesthetic elements of this collection, first introduced in 2009 with the patented Turbine technology, are the spinning propeller and its sub-dials. Elements that allow for everchanging decorations, giving rise to new proposals.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Over the years, many themes have been explored by Perrelet. From models dedicated to the world of aviation and motor racing, to fashion trends such as camouflage patterns or rainbow shades, to name but a few. But also, erotic-themed models, which the brand is relaunching by introducing two new versions in the collection.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Erotic timepieces, called “polissoners” in French or “conversation pieces” in English, have intrigued and fascinated illustrious personalities of the past.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The art of manufacturing erotic watches dates back to the 1600s (at that era these were pocket watches). But a real step forward in the construction of these time-instruments did not occur until the mid-18th with the introduction of the automatons to animate the scenes. The first pieces of these extravagant watches were made for the Chinese market. Later on, this eccentric passion spread to India and finally reached the European countries.

It has been a few years since the Swiss manufacturer's last proposals. Following its success and rising demand, Perrelet is pleased to present two new editions for enthusiasts of this style.

Erotic scenes on watches, which have been requested by watch collectors for centuries, embellish the sub-dials of the new “Turbine Erotic” references A4062/S2 and A4062/S3.

 Sub-dial Ref. A4062/s2: Erotic scene with Japanese Hentai manga-style characters depicted in grey, black and red

 

Japanese Hentai manga-style characters animate two diverse erotic scenarios in the hues of grey, black and bright red. These illustrations materialize in their entirety during the rotation of the 12-blade turbine at high speed. A slight oscillation of the turbine keeps the subject of the paintings a secret and act as censorship.

This special “Turbine Erotic” series, in two different versions, is a limited edition of 50 pieces each. Case, dial, movement and strap are identical for both versions. What distinguishes them are the scenes depicted on the lower dial.

Compared to the previous Turbine Erotic series, these latest editions adopt the redesigned case introduced with the Turbine EVO collection a few years ago.

Made of stainless steel and water-resistant to 5 atm, it measures 44 mm in diameter and features redesigned lugs, a smooth flat bezel and the distinctive vertical fluted case band. The prominent crown personalised with the Maison's logo allows for a better grip when setting the time or winding the watch.

The famous 12-blade dial, a distinctive signature of all Perrelet’s models is protected under a sapphire crystal glass. The propeller, picked out in black anodised aluminium with five tungsten counterweights, rotates in time with the motion of the wrist. The faster the rotation, the more the erotic scenes on the lower sub-dials are visually sharpened.

Time-only in their functions, the hour markers mixed with even Arabic numerals, as well as the hour-minute hands are filled with white Super-LumiNova for optimal legibility in any light conditions. The red seconds hand enlivens the dial and matches the brighter colour of the depictions on the sub-dials.
