Perrelet watches aren’t as well-known as they ought to be, given that the company has been making quality timepieces for more than two hundred years. Founded in 1777, Perrelet watches have been innovative and accurate and even today offer an attractive, highly reliable timepiece that is guaranteed to get people talking when they see one.
While they may be the product of one of the older watchmakers in the world, their designs are quite modern, and will appeal to both fans of traditional and the avant garde. If you want something truly unusual in a luxury wristwatch, you should definitely consider taking a closer look at this old school brand.
The first Perrelet Turbine watch was presented in 2009. It took its inspiration from the aviation world. The successful double rotor movement was reused with a bit of a twist – the oscillating weight on the dial side is a propeller, like a jet engine turbine. The 12 blades of the “propeller” rotate just like a jet turbine, creating a striking visual display.
Most Perrelet watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually Paul Perrelet’s self-winding movements need to rotate 650 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your Perrelet. winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the watch winder box and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
