It all started with a Duel-Time episode dedicated to the Pequignet Royale Manuelle that made me want to know more about this manufacture and this model in particular. By discovering the Pequignet manufacture and its recent history (50 years this year), I was won over by the royal movement "designed and made in France". A few weeks later, it was on my wrist. It is my first manual watch and it is a pleasure to have this contact in time with your watch. I find it very elegant, especially with its alligator-Pequignet strap. A choice that I absolutely do not regret.

A mechanical caliber with a 100-hour power reserve that is extremely well decorated? It is possible and it is French! I like this well-crafted case with its "welded" lugs, its applied indexes, its crown with the lily on it and the well-marked railroad. A very beautiful house with a slightly confusing marketing but worth a look.

This watch was a purchase of the heart, and I do not regret it! I had already heard of the Pequignet brand, but nothing more... One day I watched a Duel Time episode dedicated to the manual Royale by Pequignet... The effect was immediate, in fact it had everything I was looking for deep down! It is not in everyone's collections... It has a manufactured movement This movement is one of the rare French manufactured movements Its price remains accessible given the specifications! When I see it in real life at the AD, my conviction is strengthened, it is magnificent! Lots of little details seduce me (crown with logo, folding clasp with lily in relief) Last point that confirms my heart's desire, its diameter of 42 is perfect on the wrist (17.5 for me). What a shame for Pequignet that on its site it is so poorly presented! This watch has a relatively sober dial, but the details are perfect! The sunny gray takes on different shades depending on the viewing angle... we never get tired of looking at it. And what can we say when we turn the watch over! The caliber is exposed thanks to its sapphire opening. I'll let you make up your own mind with the photos! To conclude, I order it with the dark alligator strap, it makes it even more beautiful!
