Essence of Time, Inc. :: Manufacturers :: Perrelet

Perrelet, founded in 1777 by Abraham-Louis Perrelet and carried on by his grandson, has a storied history of achievement that includes ground breaking innovations in watchmaking that are still used today. In 1777, Abraham-Louis invented the automatic self-winding movement, an innovation that to this day, no other inventor has been able to out do. His grandson Louis-Frédéric proved just as masterful. He earned a royal appointment as watchmaker-engineer to three French kings as a result of his astronomical clock design in 1815. Louis-Frédéric earned awards, recognitions, a patent and even knighthood in France’s Legion of Honor thanks to his skills and reputation across Europe as an outstanding watchmaker and inventor.
