In celebration of the Chinese year of the snake, Perrelet presents a limited-edition version of its unique Turbine timepiece that features a hand-painted snake on a white mother-of-pearl background on its dial, which can be seen with its glowing eye (from a 0.025-carat ruby) when the watch’s turbine function is activated.

TURBINE SNAKE by Perrelet

The symbol of good luck in Chinese culture is framed in a sober all-black DLC-coated 44-mm steel case with matching black crocodile leather strap, with the 12 fast-rotating black titanium blades of the rotor adding to the atmosphere of darkness.

The Turbine Snake is issued in a 99-piece numbered limited edition, equipped with Perrelet’s in-house P-331 double rotor movement.
