Musical Concept Maestro Edition by Perrelet
Starting with two sound complications, the idea was to orchestrate a joint production worthy of Perrelet’s dynamism and aestheticism. A bold challenge taken up by Perrelet who, harnessing technology and applying its precious talents to the development of its distinctive characteristics, revolutionises the conventional watch box and thus the “Maestro Edition by Perrelet” is born.
A superb tower: black lacquered wood, aluminium fluting, two mysterious glass portholes and on its top a retractable card. Upon selecting this card, a base appears, but it is above all the signature that attracts one’s attention, that of the brand recognised as belonging to: the inventor of the automatic movement.
A secret drawer opens, activated by simple pressure, housing the iPod nano with its remote control. The listener will have the pleasure of living a new sonic experience, thanks to an amplifier and loud speakers, which reproduce a sound of a crystalline purity with wonderful deep bass tones. It has two windows framed in brushed aluminium. These hide two Perrelet timepieces displayed on an ingenious rotating winding system. Accessible both from the front as well as the back, the complications are waiting without losing a minute of the time passing.
Observers will recognize the many musical symbols on the watch dials. A broad wave divides the dial into two parts, containing Arab numerals and rhodium-plated indexes. A line of piano keys surrounds the outer ring, while the sound beats are signalled by a seconds hand whose counterpoise takes the form of a treble clef. Both complications share a single musical design, their only difference being their contrasting effects. Black dial on a rhodium background for the 5-Minute Repeater, and rhodium on a black background for the Alarm watch.
