Elegance Redefined: Perrelet Weekend's Natural Stone Dial Debut

The Evolution of Perrelet's Weekend Collection

Initially launched in 2017, the Weekend collection by Perrelet was conceived as a refined counterpart to the brand's more avant-garde Turbine models. It offers a sophisticated, understated aesthetic, perfectly suited for daily wear with its comfortable proportions and a hint of vintage charm. The collection has now been elevated with the inclusion of fashionable natural stone dials.

Diverse Offerings within the Weekend Series

The Weekend collection encompasses a variety of timepieces, from straightforward three-hand-and-date models to those showcasing an open-heart balance wheel, practical GMT functions, and elaborate skeletonized designs that reveal the intricate automatic movement beneath the dial. Each variant maintains the collection's hallmark of compact, elegant casing.

Distinguished Case and Bracelet Design

All three-hand-and-date models in the collection feature uniform round steel cases, measuring 39mm in diameter and 9.56mm in thickness. These cases are meticulously crafted with a slim bezel and offer water resistance up to 50 meters, protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal on the dial side and a display window on the caseback. The design cleverly combines polished and brushed finishes to enhance visual appeal and durability, complemented by a flexible 7-link steel bracelet.

Introducing the Alluring Stone Dial Variants

Building on the success of previous Aventurine and Malachite editions, Perrelet now unveils models adorned with dials crafted from turquoise, lapis lazuli, tiger's eye, and black onyx. The minimalist dial architecture and slender bezel ensure that the inherent beauty of each stone—with its unique colors, patterns, and natural inclusions—takes center stage, making every watch distinctly individual. These captivating dials are paired with sleek rhodium-plated indices and classic dauphine hands, along with a framed date display at the 3 o'clock position.

A Spectrum of Colors and Textures

The new additions span a rich palette of natural hues: from the vibrant intensity of turquoise and the deep, majestic blue of lapis lazuli with its characteristic pyrite flecks, to the mesmerizing striped patterns of tiger's eye and the formal, inky blackness of black onyx. Each of these four new Weekend timepieces is also provided with an additional calfskin strap, perfectly matched to the dial's color, offering versatile styling options.

Precision Movement and Exceptional Value

Powering the Weekend time-and-date models is the reliable Soprod automatic caliber P-321. Operating at a frequency of 4Hz and offering a 42-hour power reserve, this movement serves as a superb alternative to the ETA 2824. The Perrelet Weekend stone dial models deliver outstanding quality and sophisticated design at a competitive price point of CHF 1,590 or EUR 1,59
