Perrelet expands its Weekend collection with four new 39 mm models distinguished by dials crafted from natural stones.
Following the previous aventurine and malachite editions, the Swiss watchmaker introduces four variations in turquoise, lapis lazuli, tiger’s eye and black onyx, bringing different colours and natural textures to the collection’s contemporary design.
Each stone dial has its own visual character, shaped by the material’s natural patterns and variations.
The turquoise version stands out for its vibrant blue-green colour, while lapis lazuli introduces a deeper blue, often punctuated by natural golden inclusions.
Tiger’s eye offers warmer brown and golden reflections, whereas black onyx provides a more understated appearance.
The inherent variations in these materials ensure that every dial has a distinctive pattern.
The dial layout remains deliberately restrained to preserve the prominence of the stones.
Slender baton hour markers and polished Dauphine-style hands, all rhodium-plated, provide clear indications of the time without distracting from the natural material.
A date display at 3 o’clock is framed by a silver-toned surround, while a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment protects the dial and supports legibility.
The four watches share a round stainless-steel case measuring 39 mm in diameter and 9.56 mm in thickness, with a polished and satin-brushed finish that emphasises its contours.
The fluted crown, embossed with the Perrelet logo, completes the case design. Water resistance is rated at 5 bar (50 metres / 165 feet), making the watches suitable for everyday use.
A transparent caseback reveals the automatic Perrelet P-321 calibre, manufactured by Soprod, the Swiss movement producer owned by the same group as Perrelet.
Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), the movement provides a power reserve of 42 hours and drives the hours, minutes and date indications.
Its construction includes an oscillating weight mounted on ball bearings, while the visible finishing features a sunburst decoration, circular graining on the bridges and an openworked rotor.
The Weekend stone-dial editions are delivered with two interchangeable strap options: an integrated stainless-steel bracelet featuring seven links per row, with alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces, and a calfskin leather strap embossed with an alligator pattern.
A quick-release system allows the wearer to switch between the two without tools, adapting the watch to different occasions and styles.
All four new Perrelet Weekend models — turquoise (ref. A1300/L), lapis lazuli (ref. A1300/M), tiger’s eye (ref. A1300/N) and black onyx (ref. A1300/O) — have a suggested retail price of CHF 1,590 / €1,590 / US$1,815. perrelet.com
