Title: Perrelet Watches
Post by: TJWN on October 11, 2013, 10:26:29 AM

Hey all,

What do you think of Perrelet ?

some info about it.. from the latest chronolytics (using data from chrono24), there's an increasing interest:

Perrelet: Inventor of self-winding movement  :-X

Their Turbine series is the FACE of perrelet, where they also have the divers, classic design which doesn't really catches my eye. From the website can see their Turbine collection are all using in-house movement (including the chronograph and tourbillon)  ::)

Turbine Collection sizing 44mm to 50mm, the front turbine also acts as a rotor which the effectiveness of winding is only around 20% of the back rotor, its more for the aesthetic feature rather than function.

The classic and diver watches which not really catch my eye except for the skeleton chrono.

The Moon Phase

The Diver Sea Craft

Their Turbine series probably would catch the attention of most people. Hardly see anyone wearing this in the wild (in Malaysia), not even a replica.

nice watch... but the "turbine" design kinda affects the camouflages of the second/minute/hour hands :Laughing_on_floor:

I guess it is based on "no of searches" on the brands.

Its from a company call chronolytics: http://www.chronolytics.ch/about

This power ranking showing the marginal increase of total interest.

Perrelet also produces a line of X-rated watches with "not-safe-for-work" hentai style dials. The image with "girls getting the deed done," appears and disappears as the turbine spins. I don't even dare post the link but you can google it!

Prawn and watches - what can go wrong?  :o  ;D  :D  :thumbsup:

Perhaps this is why such a brand like Perrelet get such a high "marginal increase of total interest"......

PS: ROT13 this and google it.

Goodness! I just google searched the similar subject on Jacob & Co. Watches. Jacob & Co ALSO PRODUCES EROTIC WATCHES! First search already kena!

That settles it! I know what I want for Christmas! And also explains why these 2 watch brands tops everyone else.  How to drive search hits? Just add Prawn!
 :o

Prawn and watches! Wow! My day is complete.

PS:
A simple google check also indicates that Ulyse Nardin has an erotic watch line also. So it would seem that the top 3 names with slightly more 45% of the "power" in the chart has a presence in adult novelties. What were they measuring again?

It would be better if they used a well known artist to do the erotic art rather than some substandard tasteless one like those...  :thumbsdown:

Perrelet not very famous in malaysia, so i think nobody will consider take it. Some more the price is quite high
