Real Men Wear Pink!

The Pequignet Concorde...in pink -

Pequignet came out a little while ago, and while most outlets went with the black or blue dial versions, I am going to share with you my personal favorite - the pink version.

Like every other member of the Pequignet Concorde family, it is a wonderful integrated case and bracelet concept. And while it is available in a 36 mm case, in truth I would opt for it in 40 mm.

It is priced at (what I think) is a very level, 4,000 Euro. And what does 4,000 Euro get you? Quite a bit it turns out! A unique integrated case/ bracelet design which carries Pequignet's manufacture calibre - the Calibre Initial®. This one is dual direction winding (MERCI, Pequignet!), and has a beautiful level of finish.

So if you're as in love with this watch as I am, and want to know more, here are the pertinents, straight from Pequignet -
