PERRELET X DIAA ALLAM

Perrelet is no stranger to collaborations with renowned figures in the art world. In 2024, the company teamed up with The Dial Artist (Chris Alexander) to create a one-of-a-kind piece, which was auctioned at Time for Art in New York to support contemporary art. This year, it was the turn of seconde/seconde/ (Romain André) for an ironic and appealing limited edition, which was a huge hit among collectors.

Recently, the prestigious Manufacture has gone even further. It turned to one of the United Arab Emirates’ most internationally renowned artists: Diaa Allam. A specialist in Arabic calligraphy, he is renowned for his live performances, during which he creates enormous murals that significantly impact the urban landscape.

His avant-garde style, which renews the tradition of Arabic calligraphy with a highly modern sensibility, and his skilful use of colour combinations immediately capture the attention, as does the splendid three-dimensional effect that emerges from his works.

The latest creation from the Biel-based company, which will be unveiled at the seventh edition of Dubai Watch Week, is the new PERRELET X DIAA ALLAM from the Turbine collection. Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, it features numerals in Arabic script mixed with hour markers and a stunning painting on the lower dial that the Emirati artist created exclusively for the brand. The painting depicts an interweaving  of multicoloured segments inspired by wickerwork, a traditional craft in the artist’s country of origin involving the hand-weaving of palm leaves.  

Crafted in a lightweight and comfortable round case, measuring 41 mm in diameter, it is water-resistant to 10 atm and is made of grade 2  titanium blackened by a DLC treatment.
The new PERRELET X DIAA ALLAM is powered by the in-house automatic movement, calibre P-331-MH , certified by COSC and Chronofiable and offers 42-hour power reserve.
This creation comes with a black rubber strap featuring a personalised pin buckle coated in black DLC, and is presented in a customised box.
It is also accompanied by a limited-edition certificate and a COSC chronometry certificate.
