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.

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.

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

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.

DARE TO LIVE OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
NEW EXCALIBUR SPIDER HURACÁN STERRATO


Roaring into life at Art Basel Miami, the Excalibur Spider Huracán Sterrato MB is set to debut alongside the long-awaited Huracán supercar itself. Maximum traction. Peak acceleration.

This is an invitation to steer off road for life’s biggest and boldest thrills.

POWERED BY RAGING MECHANICS

The Excalibur Spider Huracán Sterrato MB timepiece is powered by the RD630 calibre. This horological ‘engine’ is designed specifically to reflect the hexagonal air intakes of Lamborghini Squadra Corse racing cars, just as the symmetry of the twin barrels offers a further nod to the Huracán collection and the multi-fuel tanks of its supercars.

 Always adopting an unconventional approach, the Maison’s watchmakers have tilted the balance wheel to a 12° angle to achieve peak performance. Found at 12 o'clock to echo the Sterrato rev counter, its flipped positioning provides a better view for the wearer, who can now fully enjoy its spiral oscillations - the beating heart of the watch. Completing these impressive mechanics, the date is featured at 6 o’clock.

EXCALIBUR SPIDER HURACÁN STERRATO MB
DARE TO LIVE OFF THE BEATEN TRACK

No route. No plan. Just the pulse-racing possibility of the unknown journey ahead. This is the mindset of trailblazers, those willing to veer off the beaten track at any given moment. Now, even more fearless adventures are possible as the latest creation from the long-lasting collaboration between Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini Squadra Corse is unveiled with the Excalibur Spider Huracán Sterrato Monobalancier (MB).

A prime example of what happens when incredible watchmakers meet visionary engineers, the heart-pumping timepiece is infused with the horological excellence of the Maison and the spirit of the Huracán Sterrato, an unconventional car.

Completing these impressive mechanics, the date is featured at 6 o’clock.

When viewed from the back, the semi-skeletonised movement reveals the 360° oscillating mass, reproducing the like-for-like speed effect of a Huracán wheel rim while emulating its design. Supplying 60 hours of power reserve, the automatic monobalancier calibre is a feat of mechanical engineering.

CRAFTED FROM HYPER-TECH MATERIALS

The technical mastery of the Maison is further captured by the timepiece’s modern and hyper-tech materials, specifically chosen for their peak lightness and resistance. One such material is SMC Carbon, which is used to craft the 45mm case. A composite material nine times lighter than gold, its use is directly inspired by the design of Lamborghini Huracán’s monocoque chassis and body panels.

Meanwhile, six key minute markers are enlarged to give the bezel an even more expressive shape further evoking the Sterrato’s inimitable fender protectors. Crafted from black DLC titanium, the thickness of these elements is increased to mirror the supercar’s heightened ground clearance, so adrenaline-addicted wearers are always reminded of the thrills that come with a supercar built for action. 

DRIVE IN STYLE

Dressed in electrifying orange and audacious red, the timepiece is a stunning demonstration of super-sleek aesthetics. Sharp lines found across the dial from 12 to 7 o’clock and from 12 to 5 o’clock recall the clean-cut lines of the Sterrato’s roof rack. A distinctive feature of every Excalibur Spider Huracán is its crown: inspired by racing nuts, it brings even more roaring style to the wrist.

When it comes to the strap, a Quick Release System allows the wearer to change it at pit-stop speed, while the fiery camo pattern recalls the gravel abilities of the super sports car. This distinctive motif requires numerous coloured plates to be vulcanized together through a specific process that takes 30% longer than a regular strap, while the inner strap is crafted from black rubber and features the unmistakable pattern of a Pirelli Super Trofeo R tyre.

Limited to just 28 pieces, the Excalibur Spider Huracán Sterrato MB blends advanced mechanics and hyper-tech materials with adrenaline-charged aesthetics. Always doing what it takes to get ahead and go beyond what’s expected, Roger Dubuis once again proves it is most exciting way to experience Hyper HorologyTM. Because every second of life must be epic.
