More about Perrelet

Abraham-Louis Perrelet is born in 1729 in Le Locle, a Swiss village in the mountains of Neuchâtel. Fascinated by watchmaking professions, as a teenager, he devotes himself to the construction of a certain number of precision instruments. The mastery of his art, his renowned skills and creative genius would make him one of the greatest watchmaking references of all time. From the 1770s onwards, Abraham-Louis Perrelet applies himself to perfecting a system which, from one single initial impulse, would continue to function indefinitely. It was in 1777, that he develops his completely revolutionary invention – the self-winding or automatic movement. To this very day nobody has managed to improve on this to give life to mechanical calibers and his invention continues to make its mark on watchmaking history. Abraham-Louis Perrelet develops the first podometer and also becomes the first person to create watches with a cylinder, duplex, calendar and equation escapements. He works on further refining gear trains and improving pinions, gears, the escapement as well as his unique automatic winding mechanism.
