The Perrelet Split-Second Chronograph

Perrelet Split-Second ChronographI love the look of this watch.

The original was made with gold, and limited to only 50 pieces. This is a version of it, made with stainless steel, and hopefully is a lot cheaper. Though I'm sure it's still going to cost a pretty penny or two.

There's not a whole lot of detail on the watch, other than the specs, which I added below, along with the marketing blurb:

In homage to Louis-Frédéric Perrelet for his exceptional split-seconds counter, which he patented in 1828, this split-seconds chronograph ( “ rattrapante ” ) collection represents the innovation and openness of the brand. Apart from the extraordinary complexity and decoration of he movement, watchmaking enthusiasts will appreciate the elegance of the finish on the glass discs, which have taken the place of additional hands. The result of a perfect harmony between tradition and modernity.
