Perrelet rightfully delivers on its legacy of ingenuity with this Dual Time Skeleton Chronograph that carries a pleasing sense of balance and symmetry despite being quite a complicated watch. It's a truly special creation, which is as captivating to look as it is to wear. A diameter of 42mm and a height of 14.7mm look impactful on the wrist with a comfortable presence. The well-shaped lugs and ridges on the case bands, which have become a house's signature, are present along with a brushed finish and chamfered edges.

The skeletonised dial flaunts as much of the in-house automatic calibre P-051 as does the exhibition caseback. The gold-toned components of the movement shine conspicuously beneath the cutout chronograph sub-dials. A 30 minute-counter is placed at 12 o`clock while a 12-hour-totalizer sits just across from it at six. Running seconds and dual time can be read through the counter at nine, while the date is displayed on the sub-dial at three. The white ring on the periphery, holding the minute scale and the faceted hour indexes, lends a sense of symmetry to the layout. Overall, the dial is saturated yet clean and balanced, allowing for the easy reading of complications.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
