The New Pequignet Concorde Titanium 36mm

Pequignet, a French watchmaking brand, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2023 by launching the Concorde collection, distinguished by a cushion-shaped case and an original bracelet design. This year, as part of its refreshed strategy, the collection expands with a new addition: a 36mm titanium model that blends robustness with lightweight comfort, complete with a matching titanium bracelet.

The new Pequignet Concorde features a 36mm Grade 5 titanium case with a fine sandblasted finish. The watch is 9.25mm thick and is water-resistant up to 100 meters. The crown at 3 o´clock is adorned with Pequignet’s fleur-de-lys logo, and the monochromatic grey aesthetic extends from the case to the dial.

The satin-finished dark grey dial is exemplary in classic simplicity. Baton-style hour markers, a double index at 12 o’clock, and centrally mounted hour, minute, and seconds hands in black-treated steel ensure a clean look. The polished seconds hand stands out subtly, while the hour and minute hands feature Super-LumiNova coating, emitting a green glow in low light. Unlike other Concorde models incorporating a date window at 3 o’clock, this titanium edition adopts a date-free design to preserve its aesthetic.

Powering the watch is Pequignet’s in-house calibre Initial automatic movement, specially treated with ruthenium for a titanium-like appearance and finished with sandblasting. Hand-assembled using components sourced within an 80km radius of Pequignet’s Morteau workshops – 72% of which are French – the movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers a 65-hour power reserve. The craftsmanship is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, secured with six screws.

The titanium bracelet, featuring distinctive spearhead-shaped links, pays homage to the Place de la Concorde obelisk in Paris. It offers interchangeability (20mm) and secures with a folding clasp, maintaining the watch’s cohesive sandblasted finish.

The Concorde Titanium 36mm will join Pequignet’s permanent collection and be available from May 2025 for EUR 4,800. For more details, please visit pequignet.com.
