Perrelet Turbine Hypnotic: an intriguing kaleidoscope

A watch that, like few others, is capable of capturing the attention: as the turbine spins, the two spirals merge to create unexpected geometric shapes, similar to those of an ever-changing, glowing kaleidoscope. The result is striking and magnetic, enchanting and almost magical.

P

atented in 2009, Perrelet’s Turbine Technology is inspired by aeronautical propulsion: it consists of 12 blades in black anodized aluminium, a light yet durable material, that come alive with the slightest movement of the wrist. When the turbine is in motion, its playful and entertaining movement reveals the illustration depicted on the lower dial of the watch.

For this new 44mm timepiece, Perrelet’s team drew inspiration from the Turbine Paranoia, a special edition launched in 2012 that featured the turbine blades decorated with a spiral motif in Super-LumiNova, while the sub-dial was monochrome. The new Turbine Hypnotic goes one step further: it sports the spiral motif in Super-LumiNova with green light emission, not only on the blades, but also on the lower dial.

Certified by the COSC and by Chronofiable®, the P-331-MH calibre offers a power reserve of 42 hours and has a balance wheel that beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).
