Just another brand resurrected by someone.
THE Perrelet was the inventor of the automatic winding if i remember correctly.

Now their models come with ETA movts, not really nicely finished.

I do however like their turbine range, fun to look at.

however, don't have the guts to pull the trigger due to unknown history and reliability about this watch.  :-\

If I can see one, I'd get one. Never seen one in the flesh. Better still if it is the turbine XL.

No official ad in Msia for this brand i think.
The XL ver is 50mm!

the bigger the better, then the 'turbine' effect is clearer.
