Perrelet Watch Event August 29-30 At Lussori In Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA
You loved the Perrelet Turbine watch collection. It was not only a popular watch to look at, many of you enjoyed it. Will it will finally be available starting this weekend at a special Perrelet watch event that will be held at the Lussori luxury watch store on Carmel-By-The-Sea, California (August 29-30). In addition to the Turbine watch, there will be other interesting Perrelet timepieces that will amuse and delight (and possibly lead to a new purchase). Among the crowd will be Virginie Perrelet, who is related to the great Abraham-Louis Perrelet of "way back when." Please don't pester her with questions about what Abraham-Louis was like.The event will be at Lussori over the two day period from 11am to 5pm. In addition to Perrelet watches, they have an very impressive list of many hard to find luxury watch brands. If you are in the Monterey, CA area and can make it out, I recommend it for a enjoyable time.

The watch is purely mechanical but displays the hours and minutes digitally using rotating cylinders, which I find very effective. Then, there is also a power reserve indicator that is also featured on a rotating cylinder.On the left side you have the massive tourbillon with the "R" for Rodolphe. The arrow at the top of this "R" indicates the seconds as the massive tourbillon spins once every 60 seconds. This feature takes up about half of the dial, and adds a constant source of visual movement which makes the watch more interesting to look at.
