Immediately establishing itself as a maker of high-end, complicated timepieces – endowed with the fastest triple-axis tourbillon the world has ever seen – since its inception in 2020, Purnell has brought out stunning timepieces year after year. In a joint statement issued on February 16, 2023, Purnell and Paris Saint-Germain announced the start of a three-year partnership pursuant to which Purnell becomes the official timekeeper and sponsor of the legendary professional football club
Purnell x PSG Escape Limited Edition
The first masterpiece to mark the three-year partnership integrates Paris Saint-Germain’s Eiffel Tower logo inside the mechanism of Purnell’s celebrated high velocity tourbillon – the Spherion. With finesse and attention to detail, Purnell has subtly incorporated into an elegantly monochromatic model, the shape of the Eiffel Tower, proprietary logo of Paris Saint-Germain, and the club’s branded “Fleur de Lys” motif. The bridge and outer cage of the Spherion are now shaped like Paris Saint-Germain’s Eiffel Tower logo. A “Fleur de Lys” tapisserie motif is engraved on the back bridges. The sapphire ring dial, assembled with an Eiffel Tower-shaped bridge in polished titanium, features a Fleur de Lys at six o’clock. The crown’s miniature Eiffel Tower logo straddles a single Fleur de Lys. The case back’s circumference is engraved with two inscriptions: “Paris Saint-Germain” and “Ici c’est Paris.” The barrels are also engraved with the PSG supporter’s anthem. Encased in a 48mm polished anthracite titanium case, Purnell x PSG Escape Limited Edition is powered by a hand-winding Caliber P11 movement and a single Spherion and is limited to only 11 pieces.
