ABRAHAM-LOUIS PERRELET, born 9 January 1729 in the mountains of
the Neuchâtel, spent years developing system that would replace the task of winding one’s watch every day. He kept on innovating,
and applying his intelligence, imagination and clear sightedness
and he completed a series of new techniques
destined to improve the running of timekeepers.
Around 1770, he embarked on finding an absolutely simple
yet effective solution to wind a watch that was, unbeknown
to him at the time, going revolutionize the world of watch
making. He was the first to develop a rotating, oscillating
weight or a rotor, mounted on the movement
that follows the motions of the wearer and winds the mainspring of the watch. His invention was officially recognized in 1777. Harnessing the natural energy of the wearer brought Abraham
Louis to his next invention. In 1780, he created
the first pedometer, measuring the steps and distance while
walking. He also became the first to manufacture a watch
with an escapement, a cylinder escapement, a duplex
escapement, and an equation
escapement. You may visit the factory here |
