As I do most business abroad I need a GMT watch with a date and preferably a chrono too (because I like chronographs!)

Came across the perrelet skeleton which has all these complications. Looks unusual and I know I won't come across someone else wearing one.

What I cannot figure out is the origin of the movement - is it manufacture or else ETA based? The website is silent on the issue (though does mention in-house movements on the double-rotor for example) which makes me suspect an ETA ebauche?

I'd always prefer a manufacture movement.....

Also anyone suggest other watches with the similar combination of complication with date, GMT and Chrono? Preferably not mainstream...

Cheers

I'll check my Wristwatch annual for you later tonight.

As for alternatives - Chopard Mill Miglia XL ? Am sure there's a GMT chronograph in the range.

Pretty sure the perrelet has a very nicely decorated ETA movement. Probabaly a 7750 if its a chrono, though it could be a modular chrono.

As an alternative how about a Sinn 757 UTC - somewhat more tool-ish than the Perrelet.
