Perrelet watches

Perrelet is named after Abraham-Louis Perrelet, the 18th-century watchmaker credited with inventing an early self-winding watch. The name was revived in the 1990s; the first watches of the modern brand used a double rotor, with one rotor on the dial side and a second beneath the movement.

Perrelet has belonged to the Festina Group since the mid-2000s. In 2009 it introduced the Turbine, whose dial carries a cut-out disc of blades, inspired by a jet engine, that spins as the wrist moves.
