PEQUIGNET DEFIES THE LAWS OF GRAVITY
PEQUIGNET introduces its first flying tourbillon, an exceptional watchmaking achievement, available in stores from early October. Designed for enthusiasts of French Haute Horlogerie, this masterpiece is a limited edition of 24 pieces.
The tourbillon, a 19th-century invention aimed at improving the accuracy of mechanical watches, remains a rare complication among French watch brands. PEQUIGNET stands out by offering this tourbillon, designed in its Manufacture with components locally produced within an 80 km radius and assembled in Morteau.
With this watch, the Maison PEQUIGNET joins the very exclusive circle of elite watchmakers.
A QUASI-HYPNOTIC MARVEL
This exceptional watch is animated by the fourth «in-house» movement by PEQUIGNET, based on the prestigious Calibre Royal® and named the Calibre Royal® Tourbillon. .
Traditionally mounted at 6 o’clock, the flying tourbillon is designed without an upper bridge, giving the impression of a weightless cage and creating a fascinating and hypnotic visual effect. This one-minute tourbillon, equipped with a concentric balance, features a titanium cage, a material that is particularly delicate to work with for such small components.
Another technical and aesthetic advantage: PEQUIGNET flying tourbillon is visible from both the dial and the bridge side, offering a complete view of the mechanics. Built on the foundation of the Calibre Royal® with a 3Hz frequency, it retains all its features, including an impressive power reserve of at least 88 hours.
This movement is designed to be admired, visible from both the dial side and the back. Entirely hand-decorated, it reveals its high-quality finishes: beveling, Côtes de Genève, circular graining, circling, sandblasting and drawing. A true masterpiece!
A WATCHMAKING MASTERPIECE
The Royale Tourbillon is housed in a 44 mm rose gold case, featuring a stunning midnight blue “wave effect” dial, reminiscent of a gentle wave starting from the tourbillon at 6 o’clock and flowing up to 12 o’clock.
The rose gold indices and hands capture every bit of light to ensure perfect readability on the refined dial.
The Royale Tourbillon is fitted with a magnificent blue alligator leather strap, echoing the color of the dial.
A rare watch deserves a rare case: made of lacquered wood and specially designed for this first PEQUIGNET Tourbillon, the case mirrors the midnight blue and wave shape of the dial.
THE ART AND SCIENCE OF TIME
Available on October, The Royale Tourbillon is the perfect embodiment of the free and inspired style of PEQUIGNET.
