Perrelet introduced the original Turbine watch last year at Baselworld. For 2010, not much has changed. Why change a good thing? Perrelet did make one change for 2010, though. They added a cool new color varitation to the Turbine collection. Black with orange luminous stripes on the inner section of the turbine. According to Perrelet's US President, Michael Goldstein, the new Turbine is selling extremely well and driving new sales for the brand. The three orginal variations are appealing, but this additional new orange on black variation, seems like the perfect color combination. The bright orange contrasts very well with black, and makes the dial really stand out.

At the Baselworld show this past March, I visited the Perrelet booth, where I got to preview all of their new watches, including the much hyped Perrelet Turbine. The Turbine watches look really good in-person, but the Perrelet collection that impressed me the most, was the black Semi-Skeletonized Split-Seconds Chronograph collection. This collection, officially unveiled by Perrelet today, consists of three variations, all black DLC/stainless (shown above), black ceramic/rose gold (shown below) and black ceramic/stainless (shown below).

I am really impressed with the Perrelet Double Rotor Titanium P-181 watch and the entire Perrelet titanium watch collection. This one has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with 6 layers of non-reflective treatment on both sides. The 43.5 mm wide and 13.6 mm tall case is made of solid titanium. Titanium is almost twice as strong as steel all while being about half the weight. Titanium is also anti-allegric and very resistant to corrision. Perrelet used a natural rubber strap which is actually organic. Like titanium, natural rubber is extremely biocompatible and anti-allergic. They finished it all off with a solid titanium folding clasp. The use of carbon fiber accents on the dial and the exhibition caseback were two extra nice touches that add further appeal. If my conversion is correct you can find the Perrelet Double Rotor Titanium wristwatch here for $6999.

Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the 'perpetual' or automatic movement. He came up with the perpetual movement back in 1777, making Perrelet one of the oldest watch companies in existence. The thing about Perrelet though is that they make great watches, but few of them are very sporty. Until more recently with the introduction for the titanium Moon Phase collection. Titanium has helped make this watch sleeker, stronger and most importantly sporty. It has a 3 layered dial made with carbon fiber and red super luminova markers for great visibilty and a great look. The titanium case is 43.5 mm in diameter, 100 meters water resistant and has a natural rubber strap with a titanium folding clasp. The price might seem a bit high at $6,700, but then again you are buying from one of the best.
