Perrelet: a winning double

September 2008


Perrelet makes its entry onto the court with the world doubles tennis champions, recent Olympic bronze medallists and winners of the US Open, brothers Bob and Mike Bryan.

In tennis, the doubles discipline remains a spectacular and exciting speciality, and all the more so when practised by twin brothers, whose reputation is keeping pace with their victories. Top seeds for the third consecutive year, and bronze medallists at the recent Olympic Games in Beijing, Bob and Mike, the Bryan brothers, are two professional doubles icons. Disarmingly simple, inseparable and complementary, one right-handed and the other left-handed, the Bryan brothers are already tennis legends, although only just beginning their careers.

This winning pair has naturally caught the imagination of Perrelet, for whom the connection was self-evident. The perfect precision and osmosis required during a match, are curiously reminiscent of the brand's symbolic model, the Double Rotor. Flagship of the Perrelet collections and veritable icon in the world of watchmaking, this complication is equipped with the famous, exclusive Perrelet P-181 movement. Its calibre is powered by a uniquely designed double rotor, i.e. two perfectly synchronised twin rotors, of which one is placed on the dial, thus allowing an unimpeded view of the winding mechanism at all times for the wearer. The advantage of twins is also directly measurable: With two rotors working in unison, the watch receives a more efficient supply of energy.

A partnership between the winning double act and Perrelet was formalised during the last US Open tournament. Bob and Mike spontaneously selected a sporting design, modern and exclusive, immediately recognisable and made of the high-tech material, titanium. From now on, both of the champions are proudly wearing a timekeeper with a strong character, the Double Rotor in Titanium fitted with a strap made of natural rubber.
