Want to feel like a patriot all year round? The Perrelet Turbine XL America Limited Edition Watch will have you singing “Yankee Doodle Dandy” with joy. Perrelet matches good old American charm with its modern day technology to bring watch collectors a timepiece that will have them seeing stars.
The spoke design of the watch brings to mind the original American flag with its stars set in a circle and is a fun tweak to an American design and even includes thoughtful details, such as the small 1777 etched on the front of the watch, reminding Americans of the year of their independence.

The design of the watch is a delicate balance between the bold American symbols and common-sense durability. The stars of the flag can be found at each index, adding up to a total of fifty stars. The swirling red and white stripes in the background of the dial not only reference the flag, but also invoke the image of an American pinwheel. A black spinning rotor on the front face of the watch adds to the visual pinwheel effect, mimicking the inner rotor of the watch that keeps the timepiece ticking.
The black case provides a solid backdrop to balance to the bright red, white, and blue of the timepiece, making sure that the watch doesn’t venture into the land of kitsch. The luminous, bright white hands of the watch make the watch easy to read, even with the fun twists on the pattern of the stars and stripes.
With a scratch-resistant stainless steel case and black rubber bracelet strap, this watch is as durable as a revolutionary soldier. The watch features a power reserve of 40 hour, uses automatic movement, and is water-resistant up to 50m (150 ft). The scratch-resistant, anti-glare treated sapphire crystal of the dial window and automatic movement make this watch practical as well as patriotic.

You’ll want to keep your eye on this grand old timepiece if you want to add it to your collection. A limited edition exclusive from Perrelet, there’s only a short amount of time before this watch will only be seen in museums and history books.
Bold, fun, and patriotic, the Perrelet Turbine XL American Watch is sure to win everyone to its side. Some loyalists may protest that this American classic is made in Switzerland, but the United States is known as a melting pot of culture. Who’s to say our watches shouldn’t be the same?
