Perrelet Titanium collection

Perrelet “Titanium” Collection is refreshed with simple time +  date model…
Here’s a new and sporty looking titanium watch from Swiss watchmaker Perrelet.  If you don’t know Perrelet as the “Inventor of the Automatic Watch” (which it is, circa 1777), you probably know it for its “Turbine” watch which received a lot of exciting and postive media coverage last year (check the Turbine watch video here).  However, I think the Turbine watch was somewhat gimmicky (I have seen it “in the metal”) and not truly representative of the brand and its sophisticated watches, and that’s why I am excited to share this new Titanium collection watch with you today.  More after the jump.

Perrelet first introduced its Titanium Collection of watches in 2007, and this year the collection is getting a fresh upgrade.  This new model has a very sporty look to it that I really like.  Also, with hours/mins/seconds + date function, it is relatively simple compred to current and previous Titanium collection models.  The current Titanium collection lineup has four different models, each with a different set of complications (functions) – double rotor, chronograph with big date, regulator with retrograde hour, and a moonphase.  Assuming that Perrelet has not changed the basic watch specs, this watch will have a 43.5mm case size.  Price?  Probably slightly north of $4,000.
