Perrelet has always treated the dial of its Turbine collection as a blank canvas, ready to receive countless motifs in ever-changing designs and colors, which are then revealed by the whirling motion of its distinctive turbine. It was therefore natural for the brand to join the Swiss Institute's initiative in favor of the arts, and to choose to work with Chris Alexander, known as The Dial Artist, to create the exclusive one-off piece dedicated to the charity auction.
The unique piece “Perrelet x The Dial Artist - TimeForArt Edition” is an expression of the British artist's unmistakable and eclectic style, which is rich in symbolism. Influences from his childhood in the colorful rainbow nation of South Africa come together, mixed with elements of Street/Urban Art, Pop-Culture, Astrology and Abstract Expressionism. On the display of the watch, icons, inspired partly by graffiti and urban arts, stand out: stars, inscriptions, skulls, crosses, hearts... Here, however, the artist did more than just paint the dial: he has also included the turbine blades in the composition, adorning them with colorful dots and segments, some in green and turquoise Super-LumiNova. Turning on themselves with the slightest gesture of the wrist, the blades create colorful spirals which, in the dark, appear to contract or expand depending on the direction of rotation, with a hypnotic and fascinating effect.
