Official description

Watchmaking maison Purnell has become the official partner of the Ballon d’OrTM – a prestigious association between the most select brand which exclusively manufactures Tourbillon watches and the most sought-after award in the world of football. The partnership was signed for three years.

Upon the occasion of the Ballon d’OrTM gala evening scheduled to take place in Paris on November 29th, France Football will respectively present each of the 2021 men’s and women’s winners of the prestigious award with a unique Purnell model specifically designed and developed for the event.

Purnell, or the magic of the Spherion

Established in Geneva since 2020, the maison of Purnell, a newcomer in the sphere of haute horlogerie, is exclusively dedicated to the design and manufacturing of Tourbillon watches, as single pieces or extremely limited editions. Expert in the knowledge of gravitational forces, its master watchmaker Éric Coudray has designed a high-speed triple-axis tourbillon named the Spherion, one of the most beautiful and mesmerizing displays of horology magic one could ever imagine.

Though the tourbillon itself was invented in 1801, Purnell has definitely propelled it into the future through the very concept of the Spherion and the avant-garde design of its watches – in complete harmony with the brand’s motto: More future than past.
