Swiss watchmaker Perrelet continues to develop the theme of the rotating rotor on the dial, much more restrained in expressing it. The new watch has still the traditional dial and the rotor blades in the form of a ring are located on the periphery, under the hour markers with which the ring of the dial is held over the rotor.
The model is called Peripheral Double Rotor and presented in several variations: the watch in steel, in steel with a DLC-coated and made of 15 carat gold. The case diameter is 42 mm and a thickness of 13.15 mm. Its water resistance is 50 meters. On the white dial is marked "waffle" finish, apart from it hourly indices are bent in the form of bridges curved above the upper rotor of automatic winding. The three central hands and twelve-hour indexes are coated with phosphor composition. At the 6 o’clock position on the dial is a date window. On a square crown is applied the corporate logo of Perrelet.
Through the transparent case back can be seen an exclusive automatic watch movement P-341, equipped with a proprietary dual-rotor. Visible through the transparent case back the rotor on the back of the watch is decorated with elaborately patterned "Cotes de Geneve".
The Peripheral Double Rotor watch comes on a black alligator strap, stitched with white thread, and equipped by a clasp made of stainless steel.
With the help of its rotor Perrelet has played with the buyer in the cards, and even put pictures of the American flag beyond the blades, or erotic scenes from the Japanese manga. The Peripheral Double Rotor watch is more mature and restrained incarnation of this unique idea, which belongs to Abraham-Louis Perrele, who worked as an assistant of the legendary Breguet. Back in those days Perrele created his famous self-winding unit which rotor is allowed to start the mechanism of watches by the kinetic energy from the movements of the owner. Prior to that, all the watches were wound up only using a small key. However, it was still "normal" rotor. Double-bladed it has done by the company's engineers only in 1995. The watch movement Perrelet Double Rotor was a real innovation in the chronometric industry. This mechanism allows the wearer to see the rotor through the front glass, which is coupled to the conventional rotor, located under the mechanism (from back).
