Fascinating and intriguing, the Moon, our planet's only satellite, causes strange phenomena and sets the rhythm of our daily lives. Being able to capture the trajectory of the Moon and follow its evolution on one's wrist, provides the feeling of getting close to one of the mysteries of the universe.

Perrelet brings back up to date its exclusive, unique product, the Big Central Moonphase, a source of infinite inspiration and of an extreme precision. Housed in the Brand's distinctive case, the P-211 calibre, developed and manufactured by the Group affiliate MHVJ (Manufacture horlogère de la Vallée de Joux), displays the path of this astral body against a starry background.

The precision of the mechanism comes from the large central disc linked not just to one element as is usually the case, but to 3 elements (carrier, star-wheel, pinion).

When working non - stop, contrary to the moon phase mechanisms normally used, necessitating a correction every 3 years, the calibre developed for Perrelet, displays the lunar positions accurately for more than 100 years, without needing correction (independently of the date).

This complication, offering an excellent quality of legibility, is proposed in a sober, refined version in steel with an alligator strap. The sporty version in titanium fitted with a tinted glass subtly reveals the Moon's progress and is fitted with a natural black rubber strap.

Let yourself be carried away into a less humdrum world, while still in control of the march of time.
