With the new Concorde collection, French luxury watch brand PEQUIGNET celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Founded in 1973, PEQUIGNET is the only French haute horlogerie manufacture. Unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2023 in Geneva, Concorde commemorates 50 years of French watchmaking excellence.
Concorde revisits PEQUIGNET’s heritage. It is a modern take on all the fundamentals of the brand including steel, link, and of course a manufacture calibre.
Powered by the Calibre Initial™, the latest movement designed and assembled by the Manufacture in France, this watch features a new case shape.
This automatic movement with two-way winding system provides a 65-hour power reserve. Concorde also has a date aperture with a semi-instant display driven by a patented complication of its Calibre Initial™.
The Calibre Initial™ meets PEQUIGNET’s sustainability requirement: all of its components are sourced within 80 km of the factory; 72% are French.
A new signature link, inspired by the iconic Moorea, has been developed exclusively for Concorde. Its spearhead links are a subtle reference to the obelisk of the famous Parisian square after which Concorde is named.
PEQUIGNET is renewing its DNA by creating a new bracelet designed by its French designer engineers 39 years after the Moorea launched in 1984.
The steel case morphs three-dimensionally from square to circle, harmoniously balancing the triangular lugs of the bracelet to give body to a watch with soft geometric shapes.
Made of stainless steel Pequignet Concorde is available in two case sizes: 40 mm and 36 mm. Six dial color versions are also offered: gold, silver, imperial green, navy blue, anthracite grey and pink (only available in 36 mm).
