My first French made watch.
From Pequignet,a brand mostly sold in France and neighbouring countries and not being well known in other parts of the world ...also due to a lack of communication and social media presence.
My watch is from the very recently released 30 pcs. limited edition of their "Royale Paris" manufacture series with aventurine dial.
Some of their watches had already caught my attention but this special model was really calling for me.
Of course one of the highlights is the dark blue aventurine dial ; impossible to capture the sparkling nature of this material with static photos!
The case for all "Royal Paris" models is quite sophisticated with curved "Corne de vaches" type lugs and alternating brushed and polished case sides.
Very attractive and executed in top quality !
The dimensions are 41 x 11.4 with a +- 50 mm lug to lug .
Then there is the manufacture movement "calibre royal" entirely conceived and designed in-house, here in its manual wind version.

Most parts are also produced in-house with the rest being sourced from specialists across the nearby Swiss border.
Decoration and assembly are done at the manufacture located in Besançon.
The architecture of the movement is handsome and the finishing well executed.
And with an impressive 100 hours of power reserve.
Finally a wrist shot on my 17 cm wrist.

Beware however for the pretty straight lugs : IMO a wrist circumference of 16 cm is the minimum to wear the watch with style and comfort !
Overall a very high quality product and I am happy that I now finally have also a watch from this neighbour country!
Thanks for looking,
Gerard

Super cool and rare.
Pequignet doesn't get much attention at all; this is a great looking model. Reminiscent of the Saxonia Copper Blue which I think is one of the best ever dress watches. Congratulations!
Loving it…
French, original movement, aventurine dial and lovely design…seems a winner! I note some bridge-edge finishing which looks a bit messy, and some of the other finishes are somewhat industrial; but overall, still really liking it. Would you mind sharing wit...
Thanks,finishing is absolutely fine for the price point.
A mix of hand and machine finishing similar to what you will get from brands like JLC or GO for their more entry level watches. The watch was just released a week ago and you can still find all information including the price at the Pequignet website.
Fine looking watch,
I do like that, I even like the reverse view, which is rare for me. Thank you for showing this.
