Adults Only: Perrelet’s Erotic Dial Limited Editions
The themes of Perrelet’s previous limited-edition Turbine watches have ranged from patriotism to auto racing to the Chinese Year of the Dragon; its latest are targeted to more, shall we say, prurient interests: the Turbine Erotic collection, which feature decidedly adult illustrations behind the spinning, dial-side rotors.So-called erotic watches �� which feature bawdy images on their dials �� have been around at least 200 years, and remain an obsession among some collectors. Perrelet’s venture into this niche focuses on a very specific genre called hentai, a racy style of Japanese manga aimed at adults.Each of the four dials features a different miniature hentai painting, executed primarily in black and white with just a touch of red. What gives these watches a sense of voyeurism is the design of the dial. As with all Turbine watches, the image on the dial is partially obscured behind the “turbine blades” of the rotor (as shown below) and becomes visible only whe

What can make a watch go from gaining time to losing time?
Recently I've noticed that 3 of my watches, including my Sub LVc, have started losing time, after years of being gainers. I only know the basics about the inner-workings of mechanical watches, so I'm kind of at a loss for what could be happening. My first thought was magnetization, but I looked into it and if my understanding is correct magnetization causes watches to gain hours per day or to gain and lose erratically. Are there other circumstances or things that can cause a watch to go from gaining to losing time? Has anyone else had this happen to their watches?Thanks!
