Swiss watches are a symbol of status and exquisite taste. The best craftsmen in Switzerland devoted their lives to creating the perfect watch movements. Perrelet has made a huge contribution to the development of wrist timepieces. Watches of this manufacturer successfully compete with the products of the best world brands.
About Brand
Perrelet is a world famous brand of Swiss watches. The history of the brand dates back to the second half of the XVIII century. The young watchmaker Abraham-Louis Perrele worked hard to create unique high-precision tools that are still used by many craftsmen. In the 70s of the XVIII century, he developed a mechanism with automatic winding. This invention was a real revolution in watchmaking, which completely changed the production of watches.
Abraham-Louis worked a lot on the shape of products and became the first inventor of watches with a duplex and cylindrical trigger mechanism, supplemented by a calendar and a time equation mechanism. The main goal of Perrele was to create a multifunctional “smart” chronometer.
Abraham-Louis passed on his knowledge and skills to his grandson Louis-Frederick, who from an early age showed interest in his grandfather's business. After studying in Paris, the guy willingly continued his family business, becoming a famous watchmaker. After some time, Louis-Frederick introduced the world astronomical clocks, which brought him the title of court watchmaker of the three kings of France. A few years later, the watchmaker created a chronograph for measuring astronomical and physical indicators.
In the modern world, the Perrelet brand has earned worldwide recognition thanks to its unique collections, which are distinguished by their original design and innovative mechanisms. This manufacturer was the first to use a double rotor in the watch.
