Pascal Coyon 1st and 2d generations.
The first has the advantage of its dial, which is much more my taste than the too flat ( at least in my opinion ) second: The first: The Second generation: As for the movement, it is a tie, here, once again for me. Some would prefer the more decorated mov...
I am expecting my second generation Coyon
Some time this year. My dial will be a cloisonné enamel dial made by Donze and an homage to the old Art Deco IWC dials. It will be cased in platinum. I have yet to decide on the hand design. ...
Gorgeous watch in platinum case 👍👌👌
And amazing dial, the outcome should be crazy awesome, I can’t wait to see see it!
It would be very cool
If Pascal Coyon kickstarted a new wave of independent French watchmaking. Excited to see what comes out of France in the coming years, from Coyon and hopefully others.
Between the two pictured I really prefer the dial, numerals and especially the gorgeous Breguet hands of the first gen.
But I believe the case size, which is >40mm is outside of my preferred size for a three hand dress watch.
Replace the 1st hand with the 2d hands. The
Crown could stay. No certain whether I would upgrade the cosmetic finish on the first.
So, nice to see this.
As Cozmo pointed out, custom hands and dials are possible. I have an idea I'll share when it is ready.
You can treat the dial of this watch as a blank slate
Almost any customization is possible. He is working with Metalem and Donze.
The movement architecture….
….on on both is lovely. The chronometer regulation a cherry on top. Happy with either movement, but then case 2 with a customised dial that somehow complements those hands, which I also like a lot.
Here are some recent dials, have you seen all these, Nico?
The first is my favorite. ...
Marvellous 👏…
…all lovely in their own style. I wonder what no2 would look like with maybe slightly bigger numerals? For my old eyes!
