As the winter season approaches, Maison Perrelet, a revered name in watchmaking established by the visionary Abraham-Louis Perrelet in 1777, unveils a stunning addition to its esteemed “Weekend” collection.
Renowned for its mastery in self-winding movements, the maison enhances the allure of the “Weekend” timepieces with captivating Ice Blue dials, set to captivate watch enthusiasts seeking sophistication with a contemporary twist.
Originally launched in 2019, the “Weekend” assortment epitomizes timeless elegance and refined aesthetics. Characterized by a sleek and essential design with a touch of modern-retro style, these timepieces effortlessly complement any ensemble, seamlessly transitioning from professional settings to leisurely moments.
Drawing inspiration from vibrant and luminous hues, the “Weekend” series embraces a captivating transformation. From classic shades of black, blue, and silver, the collection now embraces the vivacious Ice Blue, a color that resonates with a youthful spirit while catering to individuals inclined towards contemporary boldness.
Ice Blue, a hue reminiscent of nature’s serene depths found in glaciers and wintry landscapes, brings a sense of tranquility and refreshment. Infused with a sunray finish, the domed dial of the new “Weekend” watch radiates with iridescent reflections, adding a mesmerizing depth to its appearance.
The “Weekend Ice Blue” collection offers three distinct versions, each a testament to uncompromising craftsmanship and precision. The 3-Hands variation, inclusive of a date display, meets the demands of daily functionality.

Additionally, the 3-Hands Open Heart version exposes the mesmerizing balance wheel through an aperture at 6 o’clock, showcasing the beating heart of the meticulously crafted movement.
Beneath the exquisite exterior lies unparalleled mechanics. Each model houses an automatic manufacture movement developed exclusively by SOPROD, a distinguished entity within the Festina Group and the Perrelet brand. The meticulously crafted calibers P-321 and P-401 offer precise timekeeping, boasting a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a substantial 42-hour power reserve.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the 39mm stainless steel case embodies sophistication with its slim bezel, elongated lugs, and a fluted crown, culminating in a timepiece that exudes understated refinement. The transparent case back provides a window to admire the impeccable finishing of the movement, showcasing circular-graining bridges and a refined oscillating weight adorned with the Maison’s emblem.
For an exquisite finish, the “Weekend Ice Blue” watches are adorned with a midnight blue calfskin strap bearing an alligator motif, secured by a personalized buckle featuring the Perrelet logo. Alternatively, the collection offers a seven-row steel bracelet, seamlessly blending sophistication with sporty elegance through its polished and brushed finishes.
