Pascal Coyon's New Movement: An In-Depth Look at Independent Horology

Key Points from the Discussion

• The retail price of 30,000 for the new Pascal Coyon watch is considered fair, especially given the use of precious metals, high-quality Swiss partners, and improved finishing, which was already excellent in his previous models. This is supported by the fact that his first series watches have doubled in value on the secondary market.
• The new movement features a multi-bridge layout with beautifully curved bridges, which is a design element highly appreciated by collectors.
• The dials are meticulously crafted, with options including a satin grey brushed dial with applied white solid gold numerals and a pink monochrome sector dial combining three textures with pink solid gold applied chapters. The hands are handmade in gold, and the movement plates are German silver.
• The Cotes de Geneve finishing on the movement is noted for its beautiful, light, and even application, a detail that is difficult to achieve and signifies high-quality craftsmanship.
• There's a debate among collectors regarding the enamel dial option versus the non-enamel designs, with some, like SiNzz, having second thoughts about not opting for enamel despite loving the non-enamel aesthetics and owning similar enamel pieces.
• The pink monochrome sector dial, while not universally appealing, is a personal favorite for its unique aesthetic, distinguishing it from more common enamel designs.
