Swiss Made Hand-Wound Watch with Perlage Movement Structure

The Palladium Perlage P42.H.1.5.009 is a watch that doesn't hide its mechanics – it celebrates them. The ETA 6497-1 is openly visible across the entire front, with the mainplate fully decorated with perlage. This traditional surface technique creates a rhythmic pattern of circular graining that elegantly plays with light, giving the watch a distinctive appeal.

Each perlage finish is a handcrafted work of art that requires precision, experience, and absolute cleanliness. This makes the watch appear not as an industrial product, but as a piece of mechanical art. The 42mm stainless steel case frames the movement in a modern way and, with a height of 13mm, offers a solid, comfortable feel. Perfectly suited as a unisex model for anyone who wants to consciously experience mechanics.

ETA 6497-1 – Mechanical Tradition in Large Format

The Swiss Made ETA 6497-1 was originally developed for pocket watches, which is why its large diameter makes it perfectly suited for open-dial watches. With a 46-hour power reserve and a screw balance, it offers a classic hand-wound character that makes every winding a ritual.

Technical Details & Everyday Suitability

The watch is water-resistant up to 10 ATM, equipped with sapphire crystal on both sides, and has an exhibition case back that also impressively displays the reverse side of the movement. The combination of visible mechanics, robust stainless steel, and a perlaged movement surface makes this model an exceptional companion for everyday life.

A watch for people who consciously choose true mechanics and are proud to wear them visibly.
