Perrelet

Perrelet is a Swiss watch brand, associated with Abraham-Louis Perrelet who in the 18th century invented a pocket watch mechanism that today can be found in wristwatches. Perrelet as a watch brand was acquired by Miguel Rodriguez (Festina Group) and since then has begun promoting its timepieces with a marketing campaign that draws a line from the the 18th century heritage to modern timepieces.

Among the more popular Perrelet men’s watches are the Perrelet Double Rotor, Perrelet Class-T, Perrelet Chronograph, Perrelet Classic. The Perrelet women’s watches collection includes Perrelet Double Rotor ladies, Perrelet Classic ladies.
