CONCORDE INTO THE MINI ERA
Launched to celebrate Pequignet’s 50th anniversary, the Concorde watch quickly became an iconic model for this French luxury watchmaker. This model is now available in a new 30mm quartz version.
Initially offered in 40mm and 36mm sizes and powered by the in-house Calibre Initial® movement, this collection is now available in a smaller 30mm format, driven by a Swiss-made ETA quartz movement.
This new “Mini Concorde” aligns with the smaller watches trend. Its graphic design perfectly suits its new proportions.
This model remains faithful to the original piece’s assertive style. It retains the signature design of this sporty-chic watch, incorporating all its codes. The cushion case, a subtle fusion of square and circle, and the signature steel mesh bracelet, seamlessly integrated into the case with triangular attachments, are all present. Its lancehead links are a subtle nod to the Obelisk of the Place de la Concorde in Paris, from which the collection takes its name.
The polished satin steel dial is available in 6 colors: gold, silver (with silver or gold hands and indices), British green, navy blue, anthracite grey, and pink.
CONCORDE GOES QUARTZ
This smaller “Mini Concorde” is the most feminine interpretation of the collection. It is the first Concorde version to feature a quartz movement. The Concorde 30mm is also the most affordable.
Concorde has become a trendy and timeless collection. It expanded earlier this year with the arrival of a jeweled version and a gold variation with a leather strap.
This latest small-diameter quartz version perfectly complements the Concorde family, the new flagship of the Pequignet Manufacture.
PEQUIGNET, ENDURING WATCHMAKING EXCELLENCE
As a French high-end watchmaking manufacture, PEQUIGNET holds the label of “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant”. The conception and production of its watches and movements take place in its workshops located in Morteau, at the heart of the French Jura. Founded in 1973 by Émile Péquignet, this watchmaking house has always created timepieces that break free from conventional codes and norms.
Independent, it became a manufacture in 2010, creating exceptional calibres such as the Calibre Royal® in 2011, followed by the manually wound Calibre Royal® in 2018, the Calibre Initial® in 2021.
In 2021, PEQUIGNET joined Enowe Excellence, an organization founded by Hugues Souparis, a former industrialist and entrepreneur committed to supporting French excellence in craftsmanship. In 2024, once again asserts its French specificity by designing a flying tourbillon, the Calibre Royal® Tourbillon, the fourth in-house movement.
