I want one so bad!! Not sure what the guy was thinking about “Blood” Come on really… It’s a watch! You have got to be kidden me! The watch is AMAZING! It looks like nothing else on the market and that’s GREAT! I have a Tag Link, Breitling Emergency, and a Omega Olympic. This has to be my most favorite watch I have ever seen! When and where will it be released to purchase!

Thank you,

Mark C

Yes, the ‘fast’ turbine on the Perrelet sure ads to the ‘true turbine’ feeling. But since the Big Pilot is a…well, yeah a pilot watch, I still appreciate that more. BTW, the talented Mr. Bühler made a sea chronometer with tourbillon as one of his school projects! I am really impressed by him, but I have a feeling he will not stay in the watch business for too long. He´s back in school studying to be a machine technician (while still working for IWC), and his creativity will probably move him towards other than horology…I think.

The Markus Buhlers IWC Big Pilot with the turbine subsidiary seconds hard was pretty cool, but due to the nature of the seconds hand, the turbine spun too slowly. On the Perrelet it can spin faster giving you more of a visceral thrill in watching it. Thanks for commenting again. Take care.

Love it! There´s a childish approach towards the design. I am a big fan of Markus Bühlers Turbine Big Pilot and if this watch indeed was a pilots watch it would have added “perfection” to my comment.

Hi Romey,
Good of you to comment. I think that when people view the video that I just posted showing the Perrelet Turbine watch they will realize that the red coloration is meant to remind you of a turbine spinning so fast it is red hot! An excellent look.

Hoby,

I agree with Ariel. When Perrelet designed the watches, they weren’t thinking blood, but more of the aesthetic appeal of how the red stood out against the chrome/titanium colored face. But you do bring up an interesting point I never thought of.

Best,

Hi Hoby,
Interesting perspective. I can honestly say that I don’t think anyone was thinking about avian blood as being the red when they designed it. Perhaps that is why they release images like this to me, so that together we can identify these funny things before the watches are sold. And hey, maybe some people like the idea of the “death turbine” on their wrist. How is it different than a watch with a skull face on it? Nice comment by the way!
