Pascal Coyon Chronomètre Limited Edition, Yellow Finish Movement

Up for grabs is a Pascal Coyon Chronomètre

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. This one numbered 1X/20

This is a 41mm watch with steel case and white lacquered dial.

The watch comes on aftermarket leather strap and steel generic buckle.

No box or papers.
