P-181-h, P-481
We would like to congratulate you on acquiring your Perrelet
watch and thank you for your confidence.
The prestigious Perrelet Haute Horlogerie brand has stood
for excellence in the art of time measurement since 1777,
tirelessly perpetuating the horological heritage of its founder
Abraham-Louis Perrelet and his successors. It is one of the
world’s rare manufacturers capable of mastering every phase
in the elaboration and production of its distinguished time-
pieces in-house – from the first sketch of the initial concept
to the final execution and encompassing all stages in the pro-
duction of watch components, including the balance spring
and the escapement.
Your new watch is equipped with the famous exclusive
Perrelet Double Rotor P-181-H movement, entirely produced
in its own workshops. This caliber with its unique construc-
tion provides a chance to observe and admire the automatic
winding function through the dial center.
From a technical standpoint, the Double Rotor constituted
a major watchmaking breakthrough, since the mechanism
derived its energy from two rotors. The first, called the oscillat-
ing weight, is placed beneath the moment, while the second,
the upper rotor, is positioned on the dial side and provides a
simple and natural way of observing the automatic winding
function in action. The perfectly synchronized rotation of the
two rotors powers the barrel, thus supplying the mechanism
with a continuous source of energy. This mechanism ensures
winding that is faster as well as more stable and efficient than
a classic system. On an aesthetic level, the mobile Double
Rotor spins on its axis at the slightest wrist movement and
thus endows each collection with unique character and per-
sonality, enabling the timepieces to easily reveal their distinc-
tive aesthetic: classic, contemporary, masculine, feminine,
understated or extravagant. Interpreted in a feminine version,
the Diamond Flower line features a flower petal-shaped rotor
on the dial side.
With Caliber P-481, Perrelet combines the horological tradi-
tions of its innovative Double Rotor with its expertise in the
art of skeleton-working. Thanks to this ingenious combina-
tion, the openworked dial allows the eye to roam freely into
the depths of the mechanism, lulled by the natural rhythm
of the second rotor.
We invite you to consult the operating instructions and wish
you an excellent immersion into the world of Perrelet time-
pieces.
