Hey Will for sure it is based on one of the eta 289x series of movements...an easy way to tell these movements from other eta is if you look closely in the center of the rotor you will see 3 dimples/indentations...this signifies eta 289x moevents...I believe this Perrelet is based on the eta 2892A2...and yes the vid is very cool...Man I love this watch!hand6.gif
Wardog if you check out the video I think the rotors are connected but I would like to know for sure....so it's time to do some research....I have seen the under $1000. models in particular the power reserve model and they are very impressive...hand6.gif

Yeah, I think more research is needed. All of the videos I've seen of the double rotors show them spinning in unison, but I've heard the front rotor described as a "secondary non-functional rotor" in articles/descriptions. I would think if they were connected the front rotor wouldn't be described as non-funtional.
I guess you could make the case that both rotors would be spinning in unison even if they weren't connected.
I think it's probably not a good idea for me to have a double rotor in any case as I would probably spend half the day at work at my desk trying to spin it around.
