  • Catalogue Essay

    - Pascal Coyon is part of the new wave of independent artisanal watchmakers that offer beautifully crafted and executed classical timepieces. Coyon is a watch and clock repairer based in Bayonne, South West of France. Around 2012 he set out to create his own chronometer wristwatch and a year and a half later he had his first prototype.

    - Inspired by 20th century pocket watch movements, Coyon sets out to deliver wristwatch with a superlative finish at a rather affordable price. Though based on the Unitas 6498, Coyon’s focus on the movement’s aesthetics is blatantly apparent with elegantly curved bridges, polished angles, a comma-shaped regulator index for micro-metric setting and, a sand blasted finish for the whole movement.

    - A closer look at the movement reveals a viper head stamped at the base of the balance cock, demonstrating that the watch had undergone the Besançon Observatory trials.

    - Coyon created 60 movements, 20 with yellow finish, like the present example, 20 with pink finish and 20 with silver finish. The white lacquer dials were available with or without a red twelve.

    - The present example is offered by its original owner, is in excellent condition and complete with its full set of accessories.
