Happy Holidays to Everyone!

Are you still looking for that luxury holiday gift to give that special person? Here are some ideas which you may like:

Perrelet’s unique, patented creation, The Double Rotor represents the essence of Perrelet’s brand identity. By placing the movement at the center of their development projects, the Perrelet engineers developed what was to become one of the mechanisms especially typical of the watch industry, the “Double Rotor”. The Double Rotor is represented in 4 different families of Perrelet Watches: Turbine, Diamond Flower, Double Rotor Titanium and Classical.

1. The Classical Double Rotor - for lovers of traditional timekeepers, in all its sober elegance.

2. The Double Rotor Titanium - in contrasting polished and satin-finished titanium, houses a carbon fiber dial, with luminescent numerals and an upper Double Rotor made of titanium.

3. The Diamond Flower - an original marriage of refined watchmaking and the jewelry art, in which the Double Rotor was inspired by a finely sculpted lotus flower, set with precious diamond and rubies.

4. The Turbine - this is certainly the most dynamic interpretation of the Double Rotor, since the latter completely covers the dial. It produces a spectacular optical effect, by means of a lower dial.

Have a happy holiday!

A "Perrelet" Father's Day

I know this is late, but I just wanted to share my Father's Day with everyone. As I'm learning more about blogging, twitter, and online message forums and immersing myself in this community, I felt as if I should also be a little more personable. So I'll start my sharing my Father's Day recap.

After traveling with the boss from Switzerland (he was in Miami), I spent a lot of time recapping the meetings and working on projects he gave me. I'm still (with the help of my PR Agency) trying to educate him on the influence and importance of social media. I think he grasps the idea better as he is very happy to see what we have accomplished so far in a difficult time and he is convinced that the USA has the best potential for Perrelet of any market in the world.

Many challenges to face including a difficult market but with the new products we are introducing we are all convinced we will meet and surpass our targets for 2009.

In addition, I did see my father and even cut the lawn for him. To think about it, I did a lot of cleaning and chores around the house like cleaning the pool and washing the car. It felt like old times again. And I'm proud to say that my father did wear his Perrelet Jumping Hour Watch.

I was happy to see that Ben from Hodinkee received great "fashionable" reviews about the Turbine Watch he borrowed. It's great Perrelet is breaking into the fashion scene.

For those who haven't invested in a gift for "dear ol' dad", visit the Perrelet web site to find a local retailer near you. Check out the Jumping Hour, Skeleton Chronograph or Retrograde.

Perpetual Calendar Watch

I leave for the JCK Las Vegas Show in two days! I'm very excited to show off the new pieces thatPerrelet will be releasing later this year as it is an honor to represent this brand. The quality of work that goes into each piece is truly exquisite and well worth the investment when someone buys a Perrelet watch.

One of the pieces that I will be highlighting is the Perpetual Calendar:

The Perpetual Calendar in 18K pink gold. The 43.5mm case houses a caliber P-251 automatic movement with perpetual calendar, moonphase, and chronograph functions. The rotor is set with a glass in a patented design that allows the owner to view the angled bridges decorated with the trademark Perrelet embroidery in the form of a “P”.

I would love to hear what the blog-o-sphere thinks about this watch... To read an awsome review on this watch from Watch Time Online, click here.
