Perrelet Launches Alternance 10 In-House Movement

The result, according to Perrelet CEO Fausto Salvi, is an impressive level of industrial self-sufficiency.“Today more than ever, having in-house means of developing and producing horological specialties

Over Wound??
I have left my watch at home while I was away for the week. I came home today and I saw that my watch was still running. Amazed that it was still running after 4 days I told my pops. He then broke the news that he took it out to wear it a few times. Then I thought about keeping it running, so I gave it one turn and the clicks were extremely loud. Does that just mean that my pops over wound my watch??
