Perrelet is mostly known to the public for its flashy Turbine Collection featuring the iconic “Double Rotor” design. Recently, the brand has introduced whole three special-edition versions: the blingy “007,” the patriotic “America,” and the playful (in all meanings of the word) Perrelet Turbine Poker (ref.

Chronoswiss Pacific with Brown Dial (Ref. CH 2883 BR)
While I do not like Chronoswiss’ vintage-styled models, there is one collection in Chronoswiss’ product range that makes my heart beat faster. It is the relatively new Pacific Collection (Ref.

Perrelet Seacraft GMT Divers (A1055/3 and A1055/A)
At Baselworld 2011, among a number of other high-tech and classy timepieces, Perrelet has also presented its new collection of divers: a three-hander, a chronograph, and a GMT. Although they position the chrono as a flagship of the series, the Seacraft GMT (Refs. A1055/3 and A1055/A) is the most interesting (or, at least, the most useful) among them.
