The world champion for Mixed Martial Arts, Ariel “Tarzan” Sexton visited Abu Dhabi to promote luxury watch brand Perrelet for Al Sayegh store earlier today.  The MMA star discussed the cutting-edge Perrelet Turbine Pilot Collection while flaunting the flamboyance and technologically advanced characteristics of the watches. Mr. Sexton who identifies as a watch enthusiast discovered Perrelet a few years ago when he was left spell bound by a model from the Turbine Collection. 

The Turbine Collection features a three-hand version, the diver’s watch, the women’s watch, GMT, chronograph models and the grand Turbillon. As a tribute to the world of aviation, the Turbillon was created for aeronautic enthusiasts. Created in a technological laboratory, the exclusive design was created by a jet-engine design agency. Sexton stated that the Turbine Collection was proud in successfully combining technical skill with precision, passion and bravado.

Mr. Sexton stated, “The model America was the one that brought me into the world of Perrelet. The dial has a 12-blade wheel that rotates over a dial printed with the American flag and the colors dance with varied figured appearing on the dial”. He added, “I like to keep an eye out for new creations from Perrelet to add to my collection”.

The fighter took guests on a tour of the Al Sayegh store introducing products and further delved into the brand Perrelet. The group marveled at the watches that distinguish itself through highly original moving dials that are powered by its patented Double Rotor Technology. The brand focuses on incorporating a sport, masculine element to the watches. 

The Turbine Pilot Grand Raid is an exemplary example of the values the brand propagates. To support durability, the watch offers a power reserve of 42 hours and is water-resistant to ATM. The sapphire crystal case makes the piece a timeless and luxurious one par excellence. Defining innovation, the black under-dial reveals beige streaks when the turbine formed of 12 anodized aluminum blades begins to move. 

 “Ariel Sexton, Al Sayegh  and Perrelet are three different realities that share the desire to enjoy what they do every day, always giving the best of themselves, whether it’s training in sport to be a winner, choosing and proposing top brands in jewellery, or creating timepieces following the art of watchmaking tradition,” said Abdullah Ali Al Sayegh, Owner of Al Sayegh Group. “For this reason, the Tarzan is the perfect person to be the face of Perrelet”.

“We look forward to welcoming the UAE to experience Perrelet just as Ariel Tarzan Sexton did,” concluded Mr. Abdulla Al Sayegh.
