METICULOUS WORK, FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL TIMEPIECE Launched in 2019, the Royale Saphir collection was conceived to highlight the Calibre Royal® , visible through the transparent sapphire dial. This movement is the only high horology movement designed and manufactured in France, making Pequignet the unique French high horology Manufacture. Black as the darkest night, this sublime Royale Saphir Night Black adopts the codes of a timepiece that is as large as it is complex. With a large 42 mm case and contrasting hour markers for easy reading, this black version effectively rolls out the emblematic codes of men's watchmaking with the refinement of the Calibre Royal®. The first and only French-made mechanism to integrate its watch complications on the same plate, this movement boasts automatic two-way winding while offering hours, minutes, small seconds, day, date, moon phase and 88-hour power reserve indicator. With its rounded 42mm case, the Royale Saphir is a real watchmaking feat that fascinates both aesthetes and lovers of exceptional watchmaking. The Royale Saphir Night Black is one of the five models of the "Ombres et Lumières" Collection presented for the first time at Watches & Wonders 2023 in Geneva. It’s inspired by the phenomena of shadows and lights caused by the sun. The Royale Saphir is thus reinvented with the Dawn White, Eclipse White, Shade Grey, Black Parhelion or Night Black models. The Royale Collection is operated by the Calibre Royal®, conceived, prototyped, controlled and assembled in the Pequignet Haute Horlogerie laboratories in Morteau. Its design required no less than 279 business plans; it is made of 318 components, 316 of which were designed specifically by our company. With 8 international patents, Calibre Royal® is a real masterpiece of innovation... and 100% French! Lovers of watch-making will be charmed by the transparent back to its case, which reveals the balance wheel and the entire movement. The oscillating weights are positioned to allow high visibility. The large balance wheel, the lever and the swivel escape wheel can be viewed without difficulty.
