Only Watch 2015: The Turbine Sheriff by Perrelet on behalf of Only Watch 2015

Immerse yourself for just a moment in your childhood memories and travel back in time. You are in hot pursuit of the bad guy, equipped with your popgun and proudly wearing a sheriff’s badge on your chest. With its Turbine Sheriff watch exclusively created for the Only Watch charity auction, this is precisely the fond memory that Perrelet invites you to relive.

For all those who enjoy indulging in a bit of nostalgia, Perrelet has created a one-of-a-kind Turbine Sheriff watch. It stands out with its 48mm-diameter pink gold case middle creating a striking contrast with the black PVD-coated bezel and alligator leather strap. The exhibition back provides a chance  to view its in-house mechanical self-winding movement: Perrelet Caliber P-331.

The standout originality of the watch lies in the dial, on which the customary blades of Perrelet’s iconic Turbine model have been replaced by a black gold-tipped sheriff’s star. As it turns, the latter reveals a humoristic inscription on the under-dial in reference to the great American Western movies. 

This timepiece thereby pays a highly original tribute to the founder, Abraham-Louis Perrelet, pioneer of the self-winding movement in 1777, to whom the brand owes its innovative character and its avant-garde spirit.
