Perrelet x LN Turbine Evo

The renowned 12-blade dial, a distinctive part of Turbine processed in black ADLC, turns freely with the movement of the wrist. Then, a diving view of its heart reveals a brass sub-dial in the background with a mesmerizing optical effect. Why? Its " electrocasting " chemical treatment gives each of the pieces a unique, mysterious look, with vivid tones. Emmanuel Curti has chosen to focus on the visual pleasures. The Geneva-based watchmaker and founder of a company which is now a master in the art of the most sophisticated coatings, matches the seconds hand to the blades, the blades to the index hours. Black superluminova hour, minute and second hands for unimpaired readability in any light conditions. More black and more obvious, more black and more rare, this watch is available in 50 pieces only. Delivered with a Perrelet bi-material strap in PU and black alligator pattern leather, Soulage's colour is not, however, the exclusive feature of this audacious new interpretation. The 44mm circular stainless-steel case is treated with grey ADLC, a specific Label Noir signature treatment, thereby echoing the grey bezel.

As for the mechanism, this timepiece features all the original characteristics of the renowned Turbine EVO introduced in 2019 for the 10th anniversary of the Collection. A COSC-certified P-331-MH in-house automatic movement, a 42-hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The meticulous care that Perrelet devotes to every detail is truly amazing. The external crown of the case, designed with fluting, is a resolutely more up-to-date version of the classic watchmaking pattern. Square-section grooves form purely architectural pilasters that are also found on the case middle and that's not all! If you look closely at the back of the case, you will notice that the ring surrounding the sapphire crystal also has the same decorative grooves. A whole bunch of details that suggest that the Turbine Evo Label Noir belongs to the elite circle of timepieces moved by futuristic grace.
