Chronographe à rattrapante Louis-Frédéric by PERRELET
Perrelet revisits its past and pours the homage on its founder ‘wire of S. Soutenu in Locle, the Louis-Frederic young person emigrated in Paris towards the end of the XVIIIme century. It drew soon the attention of the royal court and became clock and watch maker with three successive kings of France. It gained the fame per much contest and, in 1827, requested a patent for its invention, the meter of stop watch of duplicate-seconds, which also received a reward of the Academy of Science in Paris. Almost during two centuries later, Perrelet reinterprets this complication in two exceptional versions: one in white gold and pink limited to 50 pieces; the other in white gold of a limited series of 27. Comprise a semi-squelettis dial black or blue.
