Perrelet Launches Alternance 10 In-House Movement
Swiss watch manufacturer Perrelet has added its name to the growing list of manufacture brands with the introduction of an independently produced caliber, an automatic double-rotor movement called Alternance 10, or A10.Perrelet, named for Swiss watchmaking pioneer Abraham-Louis Perrelet, inventor of the automatic watch, has worked toward the goal of vertical integration since its purchase in 2004 by Spanish entrepreneur Miguel Rodriguez, owner of the Festina Group. The company calls the new movement “a decisive step on the path towards autonomous production.”As part of the Festina Group, Perrelet can take advantage of relationships with its sister companies in the Group, such as Soprod, IMM Ineltec, MHVJ and Astral, which produce various components for watch movements.

maybe a stupid question
so i bought my SS sub date in Dec. and i have read a few times on here about how fast the date changes on the new rolexs and what not.so on new years i thought it would be cool to film in the date change at midnight in slow-mo, well i did just that but my date did not change at midnight i waited 30 or so secs before i gave up and then popped the crown thinking maybe somehow i screwed up and set it wrong but as soon as i popped my crown the date changed.i have had no problems with this watch at all... its been a champ runs -1 sec a day im very happy.just wondering if it should be changing the date at midnight or not?thanksMike
