Perrelet has some nice designs, and their customer service is top notch. My wife has the Diamond Flower. I was looking at the turbine too, but in the end, was a little too gimmicky for me and ended up getting the Rattrapante split-seconds chrono instead. Still, it's a nice looking watch. However, Perrelet's retail prices are very high, and you can find them HIGHLY discounted (70% off) on the gray market.
Also, something to consider when buying multiple watches, is the cost of servicing. I didn't really think about it at the time when I bought my watches. One of my Zenith is undergoing a full overhaul and service costs $550. They usually recommend service intervals ~ every 5 years, although I know some people will service only when the watch starts to malfunction.
