Perrelet 1777 – TURBINE Rat 44 Limited Edition - 2020
Chinese New Year will be celebrated on January 25, 2020 marking the start of the year of the rat. The Chinese Zodiac, also known as Sheng Xiao, is represented by 12 animals. The first animal in the zodiac is the “Rat”, a symbol of wealth and surplus. Those born under the influence of this sign of the rat are natural leaders, highly intelligent and ambitious.
As in previous years, Perrelet celebrates the Chinese New Year with a timepiece from its Turbine collection dedicated to the zodiac animal of 2020.

The fascinating aspect of the Turbine is its spontaneous rotation. The five tungsten counterweights applied under the blades of the turbine – which have to be perfectly balanced during assembly – allow even the slightest movement of the wrist to set the Turbine in motion.
