I am really impressed with the Perrelet Double Rotor Titanium P-181 watch and the entire Perrelet titanium watch collection. This one has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with 6 layers of non-reflective treatment on both sides. The 43.5 mm wide and 13.6 mm tall case is made of solid titanium. Titanium is almost twice as strong as steel all while being about half the weight. Titanium is also anti-allegric and very resistant to corrision. Perrelet used a natural rubber strap which is actually organic. Like titanium, natural rubber is extremely biocompatible and anti-allergic. They finished it all off with a solid titanium folding clasp. The use of carbon fiber accents on the dial and the exhibition caseback were two extra nice touches that add further appeal. If my conversion is correct you can find the Perrelet Double Rotor Titanium wristwatch here for $6999.

For those of you who don't know, Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the 'perpetual' or automatic movement. He came up with the perpetual movement back in 1777, making Perrelet one of the oldest watch companies in existence. The thing about Perrelet though is that they make great watches, but few of them are very sporty. Until more recently with the introduction for the titanium Moon Phase collection. Titanium has helped make this watch sleeker, stronger and most importantly sporty. It has a 3 layered dial made with carbon fiber and red super luminova markers for great visibilty and a great look. The titanium case is 43.5 mm in diameter, 100 meters water resistant and has a natural rubber strap with a titanium folding clasp. The price might seem a bit high at $6,700, but then again you are buying from one of the best.

I wanted to open up the Perrelet section so I found this sweet Perrelet Chonograph Big Date. Perrelet has been around since 1777 and invented the automatic movement.
