Introducing the Perrelet Turbine EVO Label Noir Limited Edition

The result of a partnership with Label Noir, a customization company famed for its exploration of blackness as well as installing tourbillons in Rolex watches, the Perrelet Turbine EVO Label Noir is a distinctive monochromatic take on the brand’s flagship model.

Since the revival of the Perrelet in the early 1990s, the automatic winding mechanism, in particular, a souped-up, double-rotor system, has been central to the visual and mechanical identity of the brand. Developed with the help of independent watchmaker, Paul Gerber who is best known for his own triple-rotor movement, the double-rotor mechanism saw the introduction of a second rotor positioned on the face of the watch, in addition to having a conventional oscillating weight located on the reverse. Apart from supplementing the energy supplied to the mainspring, the additional rotor also provides an unusual degree of animation on a time-only watch.

To make the most of this design, Perrelet transformed the dial-side rotor into a propeller in 2009, with the use of 12 blades made from aluminium, five of which affixed with circular weights to ensure the turbine rotates with the slightest wrist motion. A decade later, the brand unveiled the Turbine EVO, which was equipped with a brand new COSC-certified P-331-MH automatic caliber developed internally by its sister company Soprod within the Festina Group.
