Swiss watchmaker Perrelet has unveiled its classic First Class family with a range of elegant and timeless timepieces for men and women, in three-hand plus date or visible balance-wheel versions.

The collection has been defined by a brushed or polished steel case - featuring simple lines and nicely balanced proportions, said a statement.

The slim case middle is immediately recognisable by its brand-signature fluted motif along the sides. All variations are fitted with genuine black or brown alligator straps secured by a steel folding clasp with lateral pushbuttons, it said.

The dials display a new appearance in keeping with the new aesthetic concept governing the dials and now implemented on all classic Perrelet models.

This involves a depth-effect construction based on a grained central motif framed by a guilloché rim, a play on contrasts that further reinforces their character, while the facetted hour-markers lend a radiantly luminous touch.

Some of the ladies’ models have been treated to the same evolution, while others are fitted with black or white mother-of-pearl dial enhanced by gem-set hour-markers, said the statement.

Certain versions feature bezels adorned with a ring of 64 diamonds further accentuating their elegance. Housed in new 35 mm-diameter cases, the First Class Lady models exude an allure that is both trendy and extremely feminine, it said.

The collections composing the First Class family are equipped with a mechanical automatic in-house movement - Caliber P-321 for the three-hand plus date models; and Caliber P-391 with visible balance wheel appearing through a dial opening at 6 o’clock.

All of them are fitted with a transparent sapphire case back providing a chance to admire the mechanism, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
