Pequignet continues to assert its revival with a model that combines contemporary elegance, technical lightness, and French watchmaking expertise. After celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2023, the Morteau-based manufacture unveils a new variation of its Concorde line, this time in a 36 mm titanium case. With its restrained size, clean design, and in-house movement, the Concorde Titanium ticks all the boxes of a watch with conviction.
At first glance, the Grade 5 titanium case captivates with its balance and fully sandblasted finish. Measuring 9.25 mm thick for a 36 mm diameter, the profile remains slim without sacrificing wrist presence. Water-resistant to 100 metres, it features a screw-down crown discreetly adorned with the brand's iconic fleur-de-lis. The dial opts for chic sobriety: a satin-finished dark grey hue, blackened steel hands and baton indices, and no date window to preserve visual balance. Legibility is clear, the lines are graphic, and the material makes all the difference.
But beyond aesthetics, the technical foundation is what truly sets this watch apart. It is powered by the Initial calibre, an automatic movement entirely developed, designed, and assembled in-house by Pequignet. A rarity for an independent French manufacture. Ruthenium-treated to match the spirit of titanium, this calibre offers a generous 65-hour power reserve and a classic frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vph). The sapphire caseback allows one to admire its finishes, which are sober and industrial, yet perfectly executed.
The integrated bracelet, with its spearhead-shaped links, continues the tribute to the Place de la Concorde, which gives the collection its name. Also crafted from sandblasted titanium, it secures with a matching folding clasp. This all-titanium choice reinforces the overall coherence and ensures remarkable wearing comfort.
Priced at €4,800, this Concorde 36 mm in titanium joins the permanent collection in May 2025. It is aimed at a clientele looking for a luxury watch that is lightweight, sophisticated, discreet, and mechanically legitimate. Above all, it stands as further proof that Pequignet is no longer just a brand making a comeback: it is a manufacture establishing itself permanently among the credible players of contemporary watchmaking.
