It is always exciting to hear that another watch brand has moved closer to self-sufficiency by launching an
in-house movement. Today the news came that Perrelet has joined the ranks of companies with firmer control of their own futures. As a member of the Festina group, Perrelet is now seeing some real benefit from its membership.
Here are some details from the folks at Perrelet:
The A10 caliber, produced entirely within The Festina Group, features:
A new escapement featuring optimized efficiency and balance spring.
An automatic 11 ½''' movement, beating at 28,800 vph. Robust and reliable it has earned Chronofiable* certification and which may, on request, also benefit from COSC chronometer certification.
Several variations - three hands plus date, three hands with visible balance, along with skeletonized models.
A broad range of additional functions which to date includes Large Dates, Dual Time-Zone with day-night indicator, Power Reserve, 24-hour indicator, Chronograph and Small Seconds.
The A10 also incorporates custom-made complications and in particular Perrelet's signature Double Rotor modules.
And this is Perrelet's Peripheral Double Rotor, featuring the in-house A10 Caliber Movement.
CEO Fausto Salvi had this to say -
"Today more than ever, having in house means of developing and producing horological specialties represents a great opportunity. Production autonomy is an extremely important issue and an aspect that enables us to remain in the avant-garde of our field. Witness the recent acceleration we have undertaken in diversifying the Double Rotor modules. The A10 movement represents a milestone achievement for us; we are well on the way towards complete independence"
