Perrelet has taken the
American flag to create a whole new interpretation of their famous double rotor
technology. When the designers began to work on the AMERICAN LIMITED EDITION,
they played with a deconstructed perspective of the American flag, and the
results are stunningly graphic and distinctively iconic of images from comic
books. Figures dressed in stars and stripes and pin ups with skirts blazing
take the spotlight.
The Turbine collection's
signature 12-blade wheel rotates over a dial painted with the red and white
stripes of the American flag. Make it twirl and the colors begin a wild dance,
performing endlessly varied random figures. Everything is a question of speed
and nothing can be perfectly reproduced in an identical manner. Optical effects
follow on from each other in rapid-fire succession in the center of an hour
circle punctuated by blue squares bearing white stars. Divided into groups of
eight or nine, there are 50 in total, exactly the number of states represented
on the current American flag.
The star-spangled banner
floats on the Turbine XL measuring 50 mm in diameter and endowed with powerful
distinctive and visually striking characteristics: oblique-cut blades, lateral
elements gripping the bezel and a central reinforcement between the horns. This
model is issued in a special 777-piece limited edition.
